Abstract
AbstractThe corn hull dietary fiber was decomposed into their components such as cellulose, hemicellulose‐A, ‐B, ‐C, ‐other and lignin by the Siegel method, and their contents were 16%, 1%, 57%, 14% and 2%, respectivity. The components of ordinary corn fiber were insoluble in water, but several decomposed fractions were able to dissolved. The solubility in water of hemicellulose‐B was well and of hemicellulose A was slightly, but other fractions were insoluble. Hemicellulose‐A, ‐B, ‐C and ‐other fractions were made up of about 30% of arabinose and 50% of xylose. Uronic acid contents and solubility in water of each hemicellulose fraction were mutually related.
