Sustainability: Like ethanol, butanol production from hemicellulose contributes to sustainability by reducing use of fossil fuels and offering a greener alternative.

Hemicelluloses are a large group of polysaccharides found in the primary and secondary cell walls of all land and fresh water plants, and in some seaweeds.

In this study, a one-step acid hydrolysis method was developed, which applied 4wt% sulfuric acid at 121 C for 1 h to rapidly quantify XGM (xylan galactan mannan) contents in various types of þ þ …

Hemicellulose, a term that combines a group of polysaccharides, is constructed mainly of xylose (β-D-xylopyranose) units, occurs in all woody species, grains, and other plants.

In this article, we first introduced the hydrolysis of hemicelluloses via various strategies such as autohydrolysis, dilute acid hydrolysis, catalytic hydrolysis, and enzymatic hydrolysis. Then, the …

Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides in plant cell walls that have β-(1→4)-linked backbones with an equatorial configuration. Hemicel-luloses include xyloglucans, xylans, mannans and glucomannans, …

Hemicelluloses are gummy polysaccharides of complexity between gum and cellulose. Based on the major monosaccharide constituents of their backbone, hemicelluloses can be classified into xylans, …
