The synthesis of methyl cellulose (MS) from chemically purified cellulose extract from Moringa Oleifera Pods was carried out by base catalysis using 50% NaOH solution for 1 hour at room temperature. Excess NaOH was removed by filtration and Aceton was added. Di methyl sulfate (DMS) (50%,100%,150%,200%,250% and 300%) (v/m) based on cellulose dry weight was added drop-wise at 50C with constant stirring. After 1 hour of reaction the system was filtered and fresh reagents were added (acetone and DMS). The synthesized products were characterized by FTIR,H1.NMR,C13.NMR, XRD. synthezied methyl cellulose enhances the value to this abundant agro-industrial residue and extends its range of bio medical applications.
