Linked from

The 10 pages that link to Hemicellulose, each with the reason it gives.

• CelluloseRelated: It surrounds and interacts with cellulose microfibrils in the plant wall.

• LigninCompared with: Unlike lignin’s aromatic polymer, hemicellulose is made of sugar units.

• WoodRelated: It helps bind cellulose fibers within wood's cell walls.

• Plant cell wallRelated: Hemicellulose links cellulose microfibrils into a load-bearing network.

• PapermakingRelated: It influences fiber bonding and the properties of pulp.

• ReindeerRelated: Reindeer gut microbes help break down cell-wall material in their plant diet.

• Wood pulpRelated: It influences fiber bonding and is partly retained or removed during pulping.

• Wood-decay fungusRelated: It is one of the major carbohydrate components consumed during wood decay.

• FurfuralNarrower topic: Hemicellulose is the principal biomass source of pentose sugars used to make furfural.

• XylophagyBroader topic: It is another abundant wood carbohydrate that wood-feeding organisms can exploit.
