Microlocalization and distribution of digestionresistant aromatic lignin and cellulosic compounds
in feeds at cellular and subcellular levels: A novel
approach
Abstract:The objective of this study was to micro-localize the distribution of digestion-resistant aromatic lignin and cellulosic compounds in feeds at cellular and subcellular levels using advanced synchrotron-powered FTIR microspectroscopy (SFTIRM) as a novel approach. The SFTIRM is a newly emerging and nondestructive analytical technique and can reveal molecular chemistry (structural-chemical make-up) of biological samples at highly spatial resolutions (3-10 µm) without destruction of the feed internal structures.
