Common Namexylan
DescriptionXylan is a group of hemicelluloses, representing the third most abundant biopolymer on Earth. It is found in plants, in the secondary cell walls of dicotyledonous plants and in all cell walls of grasses (monocotyledonous). Xylans are polysaccharides made up of β-1,4-linked xylose (a pentose sugar) residues with side branches of α-arabinofuranose and α-glucuronic acids and contribute to cross-linking of cellulose microfibrils and lignin through ferulic acid residues. On the basis of the substituting groups, xylan can be categorized into three classes i) glucuronoxylan (GX) ii) neutral arabinoxylan (AX) and iii) glucuronoarabinoxylan (GAX). The quality of cereal flours and the hardness of dough are largely affected by the amount of xylan. Xylan is one of the foremost anti-nutritional factors in commonly used feedstuff raw materials. It is a major component of plant secondary cell walls which is a major source of renewable energy especially for second generation biofuels. However, since microorganisms like yeast cannot ferment pentoses naturally, xylose (the pentose backbone of xylan) results hard to ferment in biofuel production, reducing its use in renewable energy production (PMID: 18299887 , PMID: 31077637 ).

Chemical Taxonomy
Description Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are compounds containing one carbohydrate unit not glycosidically linked to another such unit, and no set of two or more glycosidically linked carbohydrate units. Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn.
