The chemistry and biochemistry of wood have been summarized in several monographs. Numerous reviews of the chemistry of the hemi-celluloses are also available. " The chemistry of the polysaccharides associated with wood cellulose and the structural chemistry of the hemi-celluloses have previously been discussed in this Series. In the following, the structures and properties of all wood hemicelluloses will be considered in detail, and brief reference will also be made to their location in the wood. Topics not reviewed are evolution of wood hemicelluloses, their biosynthesis, their possible association with lignin in the wood, and their behavior in the technical pulping and bleaching processes. The hemicelluloses occurring in the bark of trees have also been omitted. 

With the advent of paper- and column-chromatographic techniques, the structural chemistry of wood hemicelluloses entered a period of rapid development which still continues. In an early structural study, Yamamori...
