Lucrări Ştiinţifice USV - Iaşi Seria Horticultură 66 (2): 33-38.1454-7376https://repository.iuls.ro/handle/20.500.12811/5239Rapeseed, stands as a versatile crop cultivated worldwide for its seeds, which are rich in oil and protein. Traditionally recognized for its contributions to the agri-food industry and biofuel production, rapeseed's value extends beyond its seeds to its often-overlooked stalks. In recent years, research efforts have intensified to explore the chemical valorization of rapeseed stalks, recognizing their untapped potential as an abundant and valuable biomass resource. By overcoming technical challenges and optimizing valorization pathways, researchers can unlock the full potential of rapeseed stalks, contributing to the transition towards a bio-based economy and addressing environmental and economic challenges in agriculture and chemical industry.enrapeseed stalksnonwood resourcespulpcellulosefibersArticle2069-8275
