Softwood hemicellulose (galactoglucomannan, GGM) is one of the major plant polysaccharides found in cell walls after cellulose. It makes up to 25% of the wood in Sweden, however, currently most of it is obtained as a by-product of several industrial processes and discarded in waste-stream. The aim of the project is to develop sustainable processes to biocatalytically modify GGM structure in order to transform it to a versatile and excellent renewable resource for novel high-performance...
