    Abstract: The hemicellulose from sugarcane bagasse was extracted sequentially with steam treatment followed by alkali and were characterized by chemical methods, SEC-MALLS, FT-IR and 13C NMR. The hemicellulose from steam pre-treatment was found to contain gluco-arabinoxylans while alkaline peroxide extraction yielded predominately linear arabinoxylans with v... Show More
