Description
A group of polysaccharides found in plants. Hemicelluloses are sugar containing polymers with longer chains than simple sugars but shorter chain lengths than cellulose. Wood contains 28-35% hemicellulose primarily composed of beta and gamma cellulose. Hemicellulose improves cohesiveness in Paper. Examples of some types of hemicellulose are Beta cellulose, Gamma cellulose, Agar, Algin, and Pectin.
