Abstract

Abstract The hemicellulose xyloglucan can be utilized to measure exposed cellulose surfaces for pulp fibers. This was shown by correlating a refining series with the adsorbed amount of xyloglucan, and by swelling cellulose fibers to various degrees by increasing the charge density. The method is specific to cellulose and could be used to quantify refining or to determine hornification.
