Abstract
Hemicelluloses H-4, H-8, and H-9 each contains L-arabinose, D-xylose, D-galactose, D-glucose, glucuronic acid, and 4-O-methylglucuronic acid. The degrees of polymerization of these polysaccharides are 993 (H-4), 2,380 (H-8), and 851 (H-9). These polysaccharides have backbones of β-(1→4)-linked D-xylopyranosyl residues to which are attached side chains of L-Arabinofuranosyl or glucosyluronic acid groups. L-Arabinofuranosyl groups are attached at O-3, or O-2 and O-3, of certain D-xylopyranose residues. Glucosyluronic acid side-chains are attached to the primary xylan chain at O-2 of some D-xylose residues. Hemicelluloses H-4, H-8, and H-9 differ from one another in their degree of branching
