Three methods were compared in the estimate of lignin cell wall contents in different fractions of seven forage species. The methods for assaying lignin were: acid detergent lignin, permanganate lignin and acetyl bromide soluble lignin. The lignin extracted from the forage sample through the acetyl bromide reagent was employed as a reference standard for the spectrophotometric method. There was no agreement among the three methods; in general, the ABSL yielded higher values than the two other analytical procedures while the […]
