Abstract
- Xylans were isolated from corn cobs via alkaline extraction.
- Extracted xylans were conditioned to have different water contents.
- Conditioned xylans were fed to a twin screw extruder at different temperatures.
- Xylan extrudates were obtained at 27% water content and 90 °C extrusion temperature.
- Mechanical properties of xylan strips were superior to those obtained from PLA.
