The non-resistant components of the wook of Eucalyptus regnans F.Muell. I. Water-soluble Hemicellulose

Abstract

A xylosan uronide material has been extracted, by means of water, from the residues remaining after exhaustive methanol extraction (at 150 °C) of the wood of Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell. The fractions isolated from the xylosan uronide material appear to be chemically similar, the observed fractionation depending on physical properties.
