Abstract

Cereal grains contain both hemicelluloses and nonstarchy water-soluble gums. The gums contain D-glucose. D-xylosc, I.-arabinose, and lesser amounts of Dgalactose and 1)-mannose (1,2). The heminlluloses (3) have backbones of 1,4- linked ED-xylopyranose residues (4-6). L-Arabinofuranosyl and D-glucuronic acid units occur as side chains in cereal hemicelluloses (5.6)
