Xylan

Description:

Xylan is a hemicellulosic polysaccharide primarily found in the cell walls of plants, particularly in hardwoods and some grasses. It is composed of a backbone of xylose sugar units, which may be substituted with various side chains, including arabinose and glucuronic acid. This structural diversity contributes to its functional properties, such as its ability to form gels and its role in plant rigidity. Xylan is soluble in water under certain conditions and can be hydrolyzed into xylose monomers through enzymatic or acidic processes. It is of significant interest in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels, due to its potential as a source of fermentable sugars. Additionally, xylan can be utilized in the production of bio-based materials and as a thickening agent in food products. Its biodegradability and renewable nature make it an attractive alternative to synthetic polymers in sustainable applications. Overall, xylan's unique characteristics and versatility highlight its importance in both natural ecosystems and industrial processes.

Xylan

CAS: 9014-63-5

Applications Xylan is a major constituent of the secondary cell wall and plant cell-wall polysaccharides. Xylan is also used in the studies involving structural properties, foaming as a new means for food structuring in plants. Xylanases an enzymatic form of xylan is used in several biotechnological processes, primarily for biopulping and biobleaching in the paper industry and as accessory enzymes for bioethanol production.

CAS: 9014-63-5

In their simplest forms, xylans are linear homopolymers of β-1,4-xylose residues. In nature they are partially substituted by acetyl, 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronosyl and α-1,3 L-arabinofuranosyl residues, forming complex heterogenous and polydispersed glycans. An example of this is in the L-arabino (methyl-D-glucurono) xylan from corn cob.

Xylan from beechwood

CAS: 9014-63-5

Xylan is the most abundant noncellulosic polysaccharide present in both hardwoods and annual plants. Xylan is found mainly in the secondary cell wall as part of the hemicellulose complex and forms an interface between lignin and other polysaccharides. In their simplest forms, xylans are linear polysaccharides of β-1,4-xylose residues but can also form complex heterogenous and polydispersed glycans.

Xylan is the most abundant noncellulosic polysaccharide present in both hardwoods and annual plants. Xylan is found mainly in the secondary cell wall as part of the hemicellulose fraction and is considered to form an interface between lignin and other polysaccharides. In their simplest forms, xylans are linear homopolymers of β-1,4-xylose residues but can also form complex heterogenous and polydispersed glycans.
