•Thermochemical characterization of M, JF and JP Seeds kernel biomass.•Hemicellulose content in the M, JF and JP were in the range of 6 to 9%.•M, JF and JP biomass activation energies value ranged from 179.86 to 226.31 kJ/mol.•The maximum value of the pre-exponential coefficient 1.29x1039 for JP by the FWO.•The pre-exponential factor of JP biomass using KAS model was 1.83x1040.
In the present study, pyrolysis of mangifera indica L., Artocarpus heterophyllus L. and jambolana seeds have been performed using thermogravimetric analysis. These biomasses have enriched lignocellulosic composition of hemicellulose (5–10%) and lignin (1–3%) which are unexplored. The TGA analysis was performed at various heating rates of 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C/min from 25 to 600 °C. Kinetic investigation of the pyrolysis method using TGA statistics has been done using iso-conversional models of Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, Vyazovkin and Vyazovkin AIC. The apparent activation energies value ranged from 179.86 to 226.31 kJ/mol in the fractional conversion range of 0.1 to 0.7.
