Arabinoxylan

Index Arabinoxylan

Arabinoxylan is a hemicellulose found in both the primary and secondary cell walls of plants, including woods and cereal grains, consisting of copolymers of two pentose sugars – arabinose and xylose. [1]

Copolymer

When two or more different monomers unite together to polymerize, the product is called a copolymer and the process is called copolymerization.

Hemicellulose

A hemicellulose (also known as polyose) is any of several heteropolymers (matrix polysaccharides), such as arabinoxylans, present along with cellulose in almost all plant cell walls.
