“…So far, lignin--carbohydrate linkages of the ester, [6][7][8][9][10][17][18][19][20] ether,4,7,11,12,21,22) glycoside, 5,6,23,24) and acetal 25 ) types have been proposed, based on the chemical and/or enzymatic treatment of LCCs. In particular, the existence of the benzyl ether and ester types has often be suggested, not only from the formation of DHP-sugar complexes, [26][27][28][29] but also from chemical analyses of the LCCs.…”
