Extrusion pre‐treatment of cowpea (<scp><i>Vigna unguiculata</i></scp> (L.) Walp.) lignocellulosic sidestream to produce cellulose fibres
Extrusion pre-treatment is a promising continuous alternative to alkaline pre-treatment to produce micro-sized cellulose fibres from low-value, underutilised cowpea lignocellulosic sidestream, for potential use as a filler in composite plastics. © 2024 The Author(s).
