text: A possible explanation of the present invention is that with the lignocellulosic material in the plasticized condition the lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose are softened and thereby structurally weakened so that during extrusion the softened material is subjected to severe mechanical shock which has the effect of fracturing the cross links between the lignin, the hemicellulose and the cellulose.
