Abstract

A rapid and efficient process for the measurement of lignin content in the plant cell walls is reported. The described method can be used to analyze ball- or Wiley-milled samples at a microscale via direct dissolution and 1H-NMR analysis of biomass using perdeuterated pyridinium chloride/[D6]DMSO bisolvent system.
