Chemical composition of fibers in cvs Lorentii and Hahnii of Sansevieria trifasciata. Carbohydrates were quantified by HPAEC-PAD and lignin monomers by py-MBMS. Values are means ± SD. Means followed by different letters indicate a significant difference between fractions of both cultivars according to Tukey’s test (p ≤ 0.05).
