Objective. . Develop a fast, accurate method to quantify lignin content in biomass using less energy, less starting material, and fewer toxic reagents than current processes. Approach . Completely dissolve woody biomass in 0.1 g/mL cysteine-sulfuric acid solution at 24 °C after stirring for one hour. It has been made with all-natural ingredients that are clinically tested and proven to be effective against fungal infections. Oates, N.C., . Abood. , A., .
