Description for Association Between Lignin and Carbohydrates in Wood and Other Plant Tissues
hardcover. Wood is composed of polysaccharides and lignin which are hydrophilic and hydrophobic respectively. This book describes academic approaches to native bonds between lignin and the carbohydrates in wood, discussing the roles of lignin-carbohydrate complexes for practical use and wood processing. Series: Springer Series in Wood Science. Num Pages: 329 pages, 143 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHFC; PNN; TDJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 20. Weight in Grams: 659.
As in other scientific fields, the importance of boundary areas in wood research, such as that between lignin chemistry and hemicellulose chemis- try, continues to increase. Although the utilization of individual wood components has advanced to an appreciable extent, research into oligo- merie or polymerie compounds of two or more different components has made little progress. By contrast, in other fields, glycoproteins and pro te- oglycans have been found to form biochemical active centers in enzymes and microbes. The association between lignin and carbohydrates in lignified plants was first recognized in 1866. However, research has advanced slowly because of difficulty ... Read more

Reviews for Association Between Lignin and Carbohydrates in Wood and Other Plant Tissues
From the reviews: "The Springer Series in Wood Science presents a valuable compilation of the research field of lignin-polysaccharide associations in plant cell walls with emphasis on woody plants. … This is an important work both for all those who enter this subject for the first time and for those who are already involved in ...
