  2. Hemicellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemicellulose

    In addition, hemicelluloses may be branched polymers, while cellulose is unbranched. Hemicelluloses are embedded in the cell walls of plants, sometimes in chains that form a 'ground' – they bind with pectin to cellulose to form a network of cross-linked fibres.

  3. Cellulose fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_fiber

    The major constituents of natural fibers (lignocelluloses) are cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, pectin and ash. The percentage of each component varies for each different type of fiber, however, generally, are around 60-80% cellulose, 5–20% lignin, and 20% of moisture, besides hemicellulose and a small percent of residual chemical components.

  4. Cellulosic ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulosic_ethanol

    However, conversion of xylose, the pentose sugar of hemicellulose hydrolyzate, is a limiting factor, especially in the presence of glucose. Moreover, it cannot be disregarded as hemicellulose will increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of cellulosic ethanol production. [45]

  5. Hominy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hominy

    Alkalinity helps dissolve hemicellulose, the major adhesive component of the maize cell walls, loosens the hulls from the kernels, and softens the corn. Also, soaking the corn in lye [ 5 ] kills the seed's germ , which keeps it from sprouting while in storage.

  6. Xylan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylan

    Xylan (/ ˈ z aɪ l æ n /; [3] / ˈ z aɪ l ən / [4]) (CAS number: 9014-63-5) is a type of hemicellulose, a polysaccharide consisting mainly of xylose residues. It is found in plants, in the secondary cell walls of dicots and all cell walls of grasses. [5]

    The researchers found that better diet quality, which meant having more vegetables, fruits, grains, lean proteins, and dairy, was linked to less chronic pain in the study participants. The results ...

  8. Cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose

    It is the base material for the celluloid that was used for photographic and movie films until the mid-1930s. Cellulose is used to make water-soluble adhesives and binders such as methyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose which are used in wallpaper paste. Cellulose is further used to make hydrophilic and highly absorbent sponges.
