Abstract | (1 → 4)-β-D-Xylans are the second most abundant plant biopolymers on Earth after cellulose. Although their structures have been extensively studied, and industrial applications have been found for them and their derivatives, they are still investigated due to the diversity of their structures and uses. In this work, hemicellulose fractions obtained previously with 1 M KOH from two species of woody bamboos, Phyllostachys aurea and Guadua chacoensis, were purified, and the structures of the glucuronoarabinoxylans (GAX) were studied by chemical and spectroscopic methods. In both cases, major amounts of α-L-arabinofuranose residues were linked to C3 of the xylose units of the backbone, and also α-D-glucuronic acid residues and their 4-O-methyl-derivatives were detected in minor quantities, linked to C2 of some xylose residues. Methylation analysis of the carboxyl-reduced derivative from GAX from P. aurea indicated the presence of terminal and 5-linked arabinofuranose units. NMR spectroscopy showed the presence of disaccharidic side chains of 5-O-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-L-arabinofuranose for the GAX from P. aurea, while for those of G. chacoensis, only single side chains were found. To the best of our knowledge, this disaccharide was not found before as side chain of xylans. |
