Abstract
An in-depth structural analysis of lignins, hemicelluloses and associated ferulic acid (FA) and p-coumaric acid (CA) in Phyllostachys bambusoides bamboo 2-year old culms and immature 150 cm-long culms were performed. This analysis was comparatively carried out with maize stems and wheat straw, selected as representatives of C4 and C3 grass species. Neutral sugar composition and CA/FA ratio were changed between the immature basal side and immature apical side as well as immature and mature bamboo. As compared to maize or wheat samples, this investigation revealed some original features of the native lignins from mature Phyllostachys bambusoides culms.
 Keywords: Bamboo, Monosaccharide sugar composition, Lignins, S/G ratio, p-Coumaric acid (CA), Ferulic acid (FA), p-Coumaroylated Arabinose, Feruloylated Arabinose, Py-GC-MS, FTIR, GC-MS, HPLC
