Recent Developments and Applications of Hemicellulose From Wheat Straw: A Review

Abstract

Hemicellulose is an important component of plant cell walls, which is mainly used in biofuels and bioproducts. The hemicellulose extracted from different plant sources and plant locations has different microstructure and molecule. Wheat straw is an important biomass raw material for the extraction of hemicellulose. The aims of this review are to summary the recent developments and various applications of hemicellulose from wheat straw. The microstructure and molecule of hemicellulose extracted by different methods are comparably discussed. The hemicellulose-based derivatives and composites are also reviewed. Special attention was paid to the applications of hemicellulose such as biofuel production, packaging field, and adsorbent. The problems and developing direction were given based on our knowledge. We expect that this review will put forward to the development and high-value applications of hemicellulose from wheat straw.

“…In many similar studies, an optimal extraction method was developed to obtain large quantities of effective substances from the same amount of natural raw materials while considering cost, space, facilities, and infrastructure (Liu et al, 2017;Hu et al, 2018;Lu et al, 2019;Kumar et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Xu et al, 2020c;Yang et al, 2020;Ha et al, 2021;Huang et al, 2021;Zheng et al, 2021). Accordingly, the most commonly used extraction methods in academia and industry include hot water extraction, ethanol extraction, ultrasonic extraction, pressurized extraction, and supercritical extraction (Si et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2016;Hu et al, 2017;Xie et al, 2018Xie et al, , 2019Yang et al, 2019;Xu et al, 2020aWang et al, 2021a;Liu et al, 2021aLiu et al, , 2021bLiu et al, , 2021c.…”

Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass using a novel, thermotolerant recombinant xylosidase enzyme from Clostridium clariflavum: a potential addition for biofuel industry

“…Hemicellulose is mainly composed of d -xylose, l -arabinose, d -galactose, d -mannose as well as, 4- O -methyl- d -glucuronic acid. 10 …”

Improvement of Ruminal Neutral Detergent Fiber Degradability by Obtaining and Using Exogenous Fibrolytic Enzymes from White-Rot Fungi

“…Hemicelluloses are polysaccharides that usually have an equatorial β-1,4-linked glycosyl residue backbone (similar backbone linkages as the glucan chains that make up crystalline cellulose). Hemicellulose consists of a heterogeneous group of polysaccharides, including D-xylose, D-mannose, D-galactose, L-arabinose, D-galactose, and 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid, and small amounts of L-rhamnose and L-fucose units [ 33 , 34 , 36 , 37 ]. According to their molecular weight, the properties of hemicelluloses and cellulose impact their potential industrial, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications; however, like cellulose, the hydrolysis of hemicellulose is a source of energy in ruminal fermentation [ 38 ].…”
