Abstract

Lignin is a polymer that is made up of aromatic compounds found in nature. Due to its potential as a biopolymer, lignin has gotten a lot of attention over the years. The abundance of phenolic compounds found in lignin encourages its use in several types of applications, including energy, biomaterials processing, and so on. Many attempts have been made in the direction of lignin field due to its specific properties to accelerate the growth of lignin interest. In this chapter, the extraction of lignin from various sources, especially agro-industrial waste, is discussed. The agro-industries source is being considered as a possible lignin extraction source. The numerous extraction methods for lignin extraction using agro-waste were discussed in this chapter. Furthermore, biochemical importance of extracted lignin from agro-waste is explored, as well as existing issues and potential prospects.
