hemicellulose

As nouns the difference between hemicellulose and lignin

is that hemicellulose is (organic chemistry) a mixture of several plant polysaccharides, of smaller molecular weight than cellulose, that are soluble in dilute alkali; they are involved in the manufacture of paper, and are used in the production of furfural and ethanol while lignin is lignin.

As nouns the difference between hemicellulose and xylose

is that hemicellulose is (organic chemistry) a mixture of several plant polysaccharides, of smaller molecular weight than cellulose, that are soluble in dilute alkali; they are involved in the manufacture of paper, and are used in the production of furfural and ethanol while xylose is xylose (wood sugar).

As nouns the difference between hemicellulose and hemicellulase

is that hemicellulose is a mixture of several plant polysaccharides, of smaller molecular weight than cellulose, that are soluble in dilute alkali; they are involved in the manufacture of paper, and are used in the production of furfural and ethanol while hemicellulase is any enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of hemicellulose.

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and hemicellulose

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while hemicellulose is (organic chemistry) a mixture of several plant polysaccharides, of smaller molecular weight than cellulose, that are soluble in dilute alkali; they are involved in the manufacture of paper, and are used in the production of furfural and ethanol.

As nouns the difference between hemicellulose and xyloglucan

is that hemicellulose is a mixture of several plant polysaccharides, of smaller molecular weight than cellulose, that are soluble in dilute alkali; they are involved in the manufacture of paper, and are used in the production of furfural and ethanol while xyloglucan is the main hemicellulose in the primary cell wall of dicotyledonous plants.
