“…Certain other natural fibre plants also show similar properties (Afrin et al 2012;Farah et al 2006;Ilhan et al 2007;Santos et al 2009;Zakaria et al 2011). However, hemp is more highly regarded as a potential medicinal plant and has received more attention than other fibre plants (Benet 1975).…”

“…The phenolic components of lignin have been reported to inhibit growth of micro-organisms such as E. coli, S. cerevisiae, B. licheniformis, and A. niger (Baurhoo et al 2008;Zemek et al 1979). Some studies discovered that lignin in bamboo (Afrin et al 2012), lignin in corn stover (Dong et al 2011), as well as lignin in cotton stalks and bagasse (Nada et al 1989) demonstrated potent antibacterial activity. The total amount of lignin in bamboo may vary between 26.8% to 30.1% of the weight (Sekyere 1994).…”

“…The total amount of lignin in bamboo may vary between 26.8% to 30.1% of the weight (Sekyere 1994). Afrin et al (2012) claimed that antibacterial agents of bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) are located in lignin (aromatic and phenolic functional groups in lignin). Phenolic acids and aldehydes identified from alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation of bamboo are vanillin, syringic acid, syringaldehyde, vanillic acid, phydroxybenzaldehyde, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-coumaric acid, acetosyringone, acetovanillone, and ferulic acid (Li et al 2010).…”

Intervention against pathogenic bacteria using natural plant material has a long history. Plant materials also have been widely used as fillers and/or reinforcers in polymer composites. Some natural fibre plants, such as hemp, are regarded to possess antibacterial activity against a wide range of pathogenic bacteria. Innovative applications can be explored if they are incorporated in polymer composites. This review aims to compile the relevant investigations on antibacterial activity of hemp and other fibre plants such as jute, flax, kenaf, sisal, and bamboo. The antibacterial character might be contributed from cannabinoids, alkaloids, other bioactive compounds, or phenolic compounds of lignin. This review is intended to encourage utilization of hemp and other natural fibre plants in value-added diversified products. Some potential applications are also discussed.

Abstract:The hemicellulose from sugarcane bagasse was extracted sequentially with steam treatment followed by alkali and were characterized by chemical methods, SEC-MALLS, FT-IR and 13C NMR. The hemicellulose from steam pre-treatment was found to contain gluco-arabinoxylans while alkaline peroxide extraction yielded predominately linear arabinoxylans with varying amount of lignin. These arabinoxylans with high lignin content were tested for barrier properties on cardboards, to be used as food packaging materials. Due to lignin content, these hemicelluloses were found to increase the water barrier properties of the cardboard.

“…Because it is much less hydrophilic than both cellulose and hemicellulose, it prevents the absorption of water by these polysaccharides in plant cell walls, and it allows the efficient transport of water in the vascular tissues. Its phenolic groups have antibacterial properties that form an effective barrier against attack by insects and fungi (Zemek et al 1979;Jung and Vogel 1986;Sláviková and Košíková 1994;Afrin et al 2012). For humans, lignin acts as a source of insoluble dietary fiber (Dhingra et al 2012).…”

a Three microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) samples were manufactured from bleached and unbleached softwood kraft pulp, and their properties were compared to those of the commercial MCC, Avicel PH-101. One of the produced samples retained a large portion of lignin (10.3%), while the two others retained only some. The physical, chemical, thermogravimetric, and molecular properties were analyzed. The presence of lignin caused a substantial effect on the thermogravimetric and chemical properties of the MCC, as well as on its surface characteristics. The lignin-containing sample degraded at lower temperatures, and its UV Raman spectra had a high intensity aromatic band (1600 cm -1 ) arising from the lignin. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed a high surface lignin coverage (40%) in this specimen only. Particle size and BET surface area measurement results varied in some limits between MCCs, while the cellulose crystallinity index showed almost equal values between 0.82 and 0.84. This work introduces a new wood-based product, the lignincontaining MCC, comparable in properties to the wide-marketed Avicel.
