Abstract:This study aimed to evaluate the process of cellulose extraction from yacon stem using combined pulping and bleaching processes for produce nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). First, chemical pulping process with NaOH was applied and, subsequently, the pulp obtained was bleached. From the chemical pulp (CP) bleached, NFC was obtained by the mechanical defibrillation in a colloidal grinder. Then, chemical composition, color, and infrared analysis of the pulps was performed. The pulping process showed a lower amoun… Show more
