ABSTRACT:
Nonwoody lignocellulosic portions of plant fruits, roots, and tubers, such as sugar beet pulp, citrus pulp, seed hulls, and cereal bran are treated with hydrogen peroxide under alkaline conditions thereby delignifying the materials and rendering the cellulose and hemicellulose highly available for subsequent use. The products are characterized by enhanced water-binding capacity of the cellulose as indicated by high water swellability. The products are also nontoxic and thereby useful as carbohydrate sources in ruminant feeds, as microbial feedstocks, and as sources of dietary fiber for humans and other monogastrics.
