Abstract
⺠Maize stem was treated with alkali before and after endoglucanase hydrolysis. ⺠Two soluble lignin-carbohydrate (LC) fractions were quantitatively recovered. ⺠LC1 and LC2 contained 39% and 8% of total lignin and 24% and 2.1% of ferulic acid. ⺠Thioacidolysis, acid/alkaline hydrolysis, FTIR were used to study each fraction. ⺠The procedure revealed important heterogeneity regarding structure of grass lignins.
