Abstract

The work described in this paper is the extraction of microcrystalline cellulose from Elaeis Guineensis Jacquin Frond using alkaline and bleaching treatment. Microcrystalline cellulose extracted has been characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Morphological investigation of fibers was performed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) where rod like fiber can be observed. Crystallinity of cellulose extracted was found higher than raw material.
