DEFINITION

a polysaccharide found in plant cell walls especially in wood

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Xylan is a major component of hemicellulose found abundantly in the cell walls of hardwood trees. Researchers studied xylan degradation to improve the efficiency of biofuel production from plant biomass. The enzyme xylanase breaks down xylan into simpler sugars that can be fermented into ethanol. Xylan contributes to the structural strength and rigidity of plant cell walls in woody tissues. The paper industry uses processes that remove xylan from wood pulp to improve paper quality.
