Characteristics and properties of lemongrass (Cymbopogan Citratus): A comprehensive review
Lemongrass (globally known as Cymbopogan citratus) belongs to the Poaceae family which is well known as a source of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. This review addresses the structure, applications, and properties of lemongrass. This plant is extensively used in pharmacological activities due...
