Lignocellulosic materials are composed of three main structural polymers: hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. Cellulose is a long chain molecule of glucose requiring a small number of enzymes for degradation due to its simple structure while lignin is a complex polymer of phenylpropane making its biochemical decomposition difficult. Under anaerobic conditions, …
Lignocellulosic fibers and lignin are two of the most important natural bioresources in the world. They show tremendous potential to decrease energy utilization/pollution and improve biodegradability by replacing synthetic fibers in bioplastics. The compatibility between the fiber-matrix plays an important part in the properties of the bioplastics.
A number of industries currently produce many tons of agroindustrial wastes with significant consequences on the environment and human and animal health. In recent years, increasing emphasis has been placed on reducing this negative impact.

Lignocellulosic materials are widely spread in the world. Claassen et al. estimated their production at 10–50 billion tons per year (which corresponds to approximately 50% of the biomass). 17 The LC fibers are made of cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and pectin. The proportion of these products varies from one kind of fiber to another.
