Synchrotron radiation infrared microspectroscopy (SR− IMS) permits the direct analysis of
plant cell-wall architecture at the cellular level in situ, combining spatially localized …

As the second most common polysaccharides in nature, hemicellulose has received much
attention in recent years for its importance in biomass conversion in terms of producing high …

Pectic polysaccharides were isolated from the husks of field bean (Dolichos lab lab),
cowpea (Vigna sinensis) and pea (Pisum sativum), using HCl (pH 2.0) and 0.5% EDTA at …

Traditional Saccharomyces cerevisiae ferments glucose to ethanol rapidly and efficiently,
but it is limited in its fermentation of pentose sugars (xylose and arabinose) to ethanol. For …

Thermal infrared reflectance spectra were measured for suites of plant materials from seven
species. All of the spectra have low overall reflectance (0.0–6.0%). Dry plant materials …

The mechanical and physical properties of wood fibres are dependent on the organisation of
their constituent polymers (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin). Fourier Transform Infrared …

This review consists of two major parts:(1) the rheological theories of branched polymers
and (2) the structural features of side branches of carbohydrates and their effects on the …

An anti-complementary polysaccharide, AR-arabinogalactan, was isolated from the roots of
Angelica acutiloba Kitagawa (Japanese name= Yamato-Tohki), and purified by …

Currently, emerging alimentary alternatives are growing, leading to the consumption of
natural products including bio, fermented, and traditional foods. The studies over functional …

The abilities of dietary fibers to promote the excretion of intestinal fermentation gases were
evaluated in five healthy men. Flatus and breath gases were collected and analyzed during …
