| Bioactivity | Xylan represents the main hemicellulose component in the secondary plant cell walls of flowering plants. Xylan is a polysaccharide made from units of xylose and contains predominantly β-D-xylose units linked as in cellulose[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Xylan is a major plant polysaccharide present in secondary walls of tracheary elements and fibers as well as in primary walls of parenchyma cells in grasses. It is composed of a linear chain ofβ-1,4-linked xylosyl residues that are often decorated with 2-O-linked glucuronic acid (GlcA)/methylated glucuronic acid (MeGlcA)[2]. | ||||||||||||
