On the physico-chemical properties of softwood hemicellulose and compounds derived from it

Hemicellulose is the second largest polysaccharide group available in nature after cellulose. Hemicellulose is present in plant cell walls along with cellulose and lignin. It is an abundant and biodegradable material that could potentially replace fossil-based products. The focus of this thesis is the properties and valorization of softwood hemicellulose (galactoglucomannan).In the first part of t
