Exploring of Agro Waste (Pineapple Leaf, Corn Stalk, and Napier Grass) by Chemical Composition and Morphological Study

Abstract: Malaysia is a country that is a rich source of agricultural waste material. Three different crops were studied here, including pineapple (Ananas comosus) leaf, corn (Zea mays) stalk, and Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum). These crops are characterized as agricultural waste materials in Malaysia and have a high potential to be used as alternative fibers for the paper making industry. The objective of this work was to analyze the chemical composition of pineapple leaf, corn stalk, and Napier grass and to inves… Show more

“…The high NaOH solubility is due to the presence of low-molecular weight carbohydrates and other alkali-soluble matter (Tutus and Eroglu 2003). Also, NaOH solubility indicates the extent of fiber degradation during a pulping process (Zawawi et al 2014). Water solubility provides a measure of the tannins, sugars, gums, and coloring matter.…”

“…The high NaOH (1 %) solubility is due to the presence of low molecular weight carbohydrates and other alkali-soluble matters (Tutus and Eroglu, 2003). Also, NaOH solubility indicates the extent of fi ber degradation during the pulping process (Zawawi et al, 2014). Cold water solubility provides a measure of tannins, sugars, gums, and coloring matter.…”
