Lignin is one of the components of plant cell wall. It has the function of connecting cells. Ligninexists in xylem. The main function is to harden cell wall by forming interwoven net, whichisthemain component of secondary wall. There is a characteristic absorption peak at 280 nm after acetylation of phenolic hydroxyl inlignin. The absorbance value of 280 nm is positively correlated with lignin content.
