Abstract
- The size of cellulose microfibril (CMF) bundles varies to interact with glucomannan/galactoglucomannan (GM/GGM). Arabino-4-O-methylglucuronoxylan (AGX) bonded CMF bundles coated with GM/GGM also have important roles in elaborating the distance between these components. Since the precise roles of GM/GGM and AGX are not clear, the elution analysis to evaluate the strength of the interaction between the cell wall were tried. Earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) were separated in a Japanese cedar. The chemical components of cellulose, hemicellulose including GM/GGM and AGX, and lignin were almost the same in EW and LW. Slight differences in GM/GGM, the side-chain substitution in AGX and the ionic bond characteristics of glucuronic acid side chains were observed. Based on measurements of GM/GGM and AGX adhering to CMFs, there were more hemicelluloses forming strong hydrogen bonds in LW than in EW. The results showed that the highly assembled hemicellulose in LW produced a strong cell wall framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
