Hemicellulose water

Some hemicelluloses are partiaUy extractable with water, but they are usuaUy extracted with alkaline solutions foUowing removal of Upids and lignin. DeUgnifted plant material is termed, holoceUulose. Neutralization of the alkaline extract effects precipitation of the more linear and less acidic hemicelluloses, termed the hemiceUulose A [63100-39-0] fraction. The more acidic and more branched material, termed hemiceUulose B [63100-40-3], is precipitated with ethanol (70%). HemiceUulose B types type are usuaUy water-soluble after extraction. [Pg.484]

Xyloglucans are classified as gum when they are extractable with hot water from seed endosperm cell walls, such as the tamarind seed xyloglucan, and as hemicelluloses because they are alkali-extractable from the cell walls of vegetative plant tissues where they are closely associated with cellulose [2]. Also /3-glucans with mixed linkages appear under the name gum as well as hemicellulose in the literature. [Pg.5]

AGX are also the dominant hemicelluloses in the cell walls of hgnified supporting tissues of grasses and cereals. They were isolated from sisal, corncobs and the straw from various wheat species [4]. A more recent study on corncob xylans [30] showed the presence of a hnear, water-insoluble polymer... [Pg.8]

From recent literature it is known that the disintegration of lignified cell walls can be achieved by steam explosion treatments resulting in solubilization of partially depolymerized hemicelluloses [91,92]. The application of this method on wheat bran yielded feruloylated GAX with different feruUc acid content [93]. Partly depolymerized water-soluble, acetylated AGX was obtained from spruce wood by employing microwave treatment [94]. [Pg.14]

The rheological behavior of xylans has rarely been investigated [4,114,115]. The water-insoluble hemicellulose from the viscose process (containing > 85% xylan) was reported to form thixotropic aqueous dispersions of high... [Pg.16]

AG type II is most abundant in the heartwood of the genus Larix and occurs as minor, water-soluble components in softwoods. Certain tree parts of western larch (I. occidentalis) were reported to contain up to 35% AG [378]. The polysaccharide is located in the lumen of the tracheids and ray cells. Consequently, it is not a cell-wall component and, by definition, not a true hemicellulose. However, it is commonly classified as such in the field of wood and pulping research. This motivated us to include the larch AG in the review. [Pg.46]

The GGM-rich hemicelluloses, isolated from water-impregnated spruce chips by heat-fractionation [218], has been used as pre-polymers after modification with methacrylic functions [439]. Radical polymerization of the modified hemicelullose with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate in water yielded elastic, soft, transparent, and easily swollen hydrogels. [Pg.53]

Wood chips can also be utilized as such to produce bioethanol. The cellulose and hemicellulose material is hydrolyzed in the presence of acids (H2SO4, HCl, or HCOOH) or enzymes to yield glucose and other monosaccharides [16]. Lignin is separated by filtration as a solid residue and the monosaccharides are fermented to ethanol, which, in turn, is separated from water and catalyst by distillation. Ethanol can be used not only as energy source but also as a platform component to make various chemicals, such as ethene and polyethene. Today green acetaldehyde and acetic acid from wood-derived bioethanol is manufactured by SEKAB Ab, at the Ornskoldsvik Biorefinery of the Future industrial park. [Pg.166]

The carbohydrates in rice bran are made up of the cell wall components such as polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, hemicelluloses, starch and some sugars. The health benefits of rice bran polysaccharides and hemicelluloses are discussed under phytochemicals of rice bran below. It is lactose-free and gluten-free. The water-soluble non-starchy polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and hemicelluloses are concentrated in the water-soluble fraction of rice... [Pg.352]

The galacturonic acids of a plant cell wall mainly belong to smooth chains of homopolygalacturonic acid (PGA) and to hairy regions of rhamnogalacturonan I (RGI). In green plants, other uronic acids can be found in hemicelluloses. Provided they are not methylesterified, all these carboxylic acids deprotonate at the more or less acidic pH of wall water. The electrostatic charges of these polyanions are then compensated by cations ultimately derived from the environment. [Pg.135]

The AIS of fresh and canned carrots were sequentially fractionated into water-soluble pectin (WSP), oxalate-soluble pectin (OXSP), acid-soluble pectin (HSP), alkah-soluble pectin (OHSP), hemicellulose and cellulose. The distribution of uronic acid among various fractions is presented in Table 1. WSP of fresh carrots accounted for 19.0% of the total pectin, while OXSP constituted 29.6%. HSP represented the lowest (12.0%) pectin fraction, whereas OHSP was the highest (35.6%) In the hemicellulose and cellulose fractions significant amounts of uronic acid were found. Heat treatments during canning altered the proportion... [Pg.499]

Rha, Ara and Gal are the neutral sugar components from all the fractions. Xyl is not present in Fla and is significantly present in the hemicellulose fractions, indicating that this monosaccharide is component of hemicellulosic polymers. Chemical composition of the water fractions were determined (Table V). High protein contents and the presence of O-acetyl-groups were observed in four aqueous fractions. Neutral sugar and uronic acid composition points to inclusion of these polymers in the class of pectic polysaccharides. [Pg.558]

Xylan has the general properties of insolubility in water, solubility in alkaline solutions, ease of acid hydrolysis, high negative optical rotation, and non-reducing action toward Fehling s solution. It can be placed in three general polysaccharide classes (1) pentosan, (2) glycan, and (3) hemicellulose. It is classed as a pentosan because it is principally a polymer of a pentose. It is by far the most abundant pentosan. [Pg.282]

Water-holding capacity of hemicelluloses (contained in wheat brans and psyllium fiber) and celluloses may decrease mouth to rectum transit time, increase fecal weight, and decrease intraluminal pressure (36). These characteristics might be expected to interfere with calcium absorption decreasing time allowed for intestinal absorption, by diluting the concentration of calcium and... [Pg.177]

A solution of ethanol-water with diluted H2SO4 selectively dissolves the lignin and hemicellulose at 180-200 °C [55]. The resulting purified cellulose can subsequently be fermented to ethanol at high yield. Copersucar and Dedinin are developing a process for bagasse-ethanol that is based on such a pre-treatment of the bagasse [56]. [Pg.40]
