Abstract

Polysaccharides have a variety of important biological functions in plant and microbial cell walls or may be used for energy storage in the cell. The polysaccharide-containing plant cell walls are exploited in many ways, e.g. as building material, textiles, fodder and paper, while polysaccharides extracted from plant cell wall material are used food ingredients and as constituents in paint, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Such applications rely on the physicochemical (and biological) properties of polysaccharides and actuate research into the structure-function relationship. Since polysaccharides embody the bulk of the plant biomass, versatile and rapid methods for the elucidation of the chemical structure of polysaccharides are required.
