Figure 1. Schematic of the structures of the main classes of xylan.
The monosaccharides and linkages in the main classes of xylan are shown and are represented in their Consortium for Functional Glycomics format69. The xylans used in this study were from birchwood (birch glucuronoxylan; BGX), wheat flour (wheat arabinoxylan; WAX) and corn bran (corn glucuronoarabinoxylan; CX).
