Abstract

Abstract: Determination of the chemical composition of biomaterial is important for their valued utilization in biorefinery. In this study, the chemical composition of five bamboo species, i.e., mitinga ( Bambusa tulda ), borak ( Bambusa balcooa ), rengoon ( Thyrsostachys oliveri ), orah ( Dendrocalamus longispathus ), and bajja ( Bambusa vulgaris ) were determined. The chemical characterization of these bamboo species can expedite a further study on the extraction of cellulose and lignin. α-cellulose content was in the range of 42.7–45.7% and Klason lignin content was 22.4–28.2%. The ash content was 1.8–4.3% for the studied five bamboo species. The α-cellulose and lignin content were similar to other non-timber spices. The ash content was lower than other non-timber species. Therefore, these species can be a potential source of raw material for biorefinery.
