Abstract:Implementing sustainable practices for using agricultural waste is urgent in the face of the challenges of climate change. This study aimed to investigate the application of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) derived from soybean hulls as a bioinput in the seed coat of beans. CMC was obtained after bleaching the pulp, alkalizing and etherifying it varying the chloroacetic acid concentration and the reaction time. The properties of CMC were compared to those of soybean hulls and bleached pulp. The CMC with the highe… Show more
