Structural Characterization of Cellulose Obtained from Extraction Wastes of Graviola () Leaf.

Cellulose is one of the most common functional ingredients in food products and has been widely used as fat replacers and stabilizers. In the present study, the structural properties of cellulose obtained from extraction wastes of graviola (.) leaf (CWG) were characterized via scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform-infrared (FTIR), and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses.
