Structure-function relationships of alkaline peroxide-treated lignocellulose from wheat straw
1989
Gould, J.M. | Jasberg, B.K. | Cote, G.L.
Compared with wood pulp cellulose, alkaline H2O2-treated wheat straw [suitable for incorporation into baked foods, to reduce caloric density and increase dietary fibre levels] becomes more extensively hydrated, increases more in size when hydrated, and contains a larger glucose accessible internal vol. These and other data are interpreted, in terms of a model for alkaline H2O2-treated lignocellulose in which the residual, peroxide-resistant lignin which remains after treatment functions as a skeletal framework, preserving an open internal structure within the lignocellulosic matrix, allowing greater water penetration and more thorough hydration of cell wall polysaccharides.
