Cellulose yield, basic density and fiber dimensions in sorghum

A study was made with different genetic material of sorghum to determine cellulose yield; basic density and fiber dimension (length, width, lumen and cell wall thickness). The results showed that cellulose yield and basic density of the culms altered significantly among the material. The basic density was smaller after the sugar extraction with hot water. The fiber length (1.51mm to 2.34mm) did not alter significantly among the material.
