Release kinetics of esterified p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid from rice straw in mild alkaline solution.
TLDR
The results suggest that the release kinetics of esterified p-coumaric acid and ferulic acid from rice straw are controlled by the accessibility of NaOH to their ester sites in the lignin/hemicellulose network, and by their localization.About:
