Abstract
Lignocellulosic materials like sugar cane bagasse include about 35% of hemicellulose (1,2). Hemicelluloses consist of polymeric substances, such as xylans and glucomannans, which differ from cellulose in having shorter molecular chains, a homo-or heteropolymeric backbone structure, and branch molecules, like acetic acid and a variety of pentoses and hexoses (3). The use of D-xylose, the main component of xylan, to obtain chemical products has been a challenge in wood chemistry for the last 10 years.
