Explain the two forms of hemicellulose
There are two forms of hemicellulose - Hemicellulose A and B - Hemicellulose A is precipitated upon neutralization of an alkaline extract, essentially linear polymers, while Hemicellulose B precipitates on addition of ethanol to the neutralized extract (to a final concentration of 60-70%). Now let's understand the various nutritional effects of hemicellulose, followed by its application in the food system.
