Glucuronoxylans are the primary components of hemicellulose as found in hardwood trees, for example birch. They are hemicellulosic plant cell wall polysaccharides, containing glucuronic acid and xylose as its main constituents. They are linear polymers of β-D-xylopyranosyl units linked by (1→4) glycosidic bonds, with many of the xylose units su...
