Properties of Oat and Barley Hulls and Suitability for Food Packaging Materials

The fiber length, chemical composition, and mycototoxins of oat barley hulls were analyzed in order to study the suitability utilize for paper paperboard manufacturing. Oat fibers observed be slightly longer than those (0.80 ± 0.19 mm 0.51 0.17 mm, respectively). There no differences composition hemicellulose sugars, with predominance xylose glucose. amount Klason lignin was at almost same level (23% 25% dry weight, Guaiacyl (G) units derived from coniferyl alcohol dominated as shown by pyrolysis-GC-MS. To achieve fibrillation beneficial papermaking, refined a disc refiner. harder hulls. This affected both calendering appearance sheets produced. Laboratory prepared sheet-former different percentage softwood pulp Hull-containing mostly met quality requirements commercial except burst strength containing either species’ hulls, tensile
