Xylan (1)
Primary hemicellulose in hardwoodsLinear chain backbone of xylose unitsSubstituents are 4-O-methylglucuronic acid, acetate groups and, in some, arabinoseSubstituents prevent crystallization, but may be removed during pulping and bleaching

LigninNative lignin is a polymer of coniferyl alcohol, sinapyl alcohol, and p-coumaryl alcohol
A heterogeneous, branched and cross-linked polymer with phenylpropane units linked by C-C and C-O bondsCross-linked with polysaccharide chains
