Which of the following component is majorly responsible for color of the pulp?

a) Cellulose
b) Lignin
c) Hemicellulose
d) Pectin

Answer: b
Explanation: Lignin is majorly responsible for color of the pulp. It is the chromophoric groups on the lignin that are largely responsible for the color of the pulp. Cellulose and hemicelluloses are inherently white and do not contribute to color.
