Abstract: The present study aims to characterize the various parts of Nypa palms (Nypa fruticans) in order to establish the overall utilization of this biomass as a potential feedstock for chemistry manufacture.Nypa fruticans is chemically characterized using The Van Soest Method to identify the content of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin molecules.Our findings implied that the total chemical composition of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin were obtained to be 36.73-49.20,2.56-19.11,11.08-26.72%,respectively.Futhermore, the highest cellulose and hemicellulose contents were found in the frond and shell, respectively.Meanwhile, the highest lignin content was obtained in the husk.The IR spectra examined from 4000 to 500 cm -1 of the frond and husk biomass samples clearly showed the typical absorption peaks of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.This indicates the presence of these three components in the Nypa fruticans biomass.Overall, each part of nipa palms has superior characteristics and can be used as a source of lignocellulosic for the manufacture of advanced material.
