In this context, bamboo appears as an alternative source for pulp and paper industry, particularly in the tropical areas of the world. Bamboo is the vernacular or common term for members of a particular taxonomic group of large woody grasses. Bamboos encompass 1250 species within 75 genera, most of which are relatively fast-growing, attaining stand maturity within five years, but flowering infrequently3. As an industrial raw material, bamboo has been used to produce both cellulosic fibers for paper and starch granules for charification and production or ethanol. In general, the D-cellulose content in bamboo is 40 to 50%, which is comparable with the reported Dcellulose contents of softwoods (40 to 52%) and hardwoods (38 to 56%)4. Undoubtedly, bamboo is a potential. alternative source of raw material for dissolving pulp production because of long fibre
