Xyloglucans are members of a group of polysaccharides typically refered to as hemicelluloses. Hemicelluloses are plant cell wall polysaccharides that are not solubilized by water but are solubilized by aqueous alkali (e.g. 1 and 4M KOH). Other hemicellulosic polysaccharides include xylan, glucuronoxylan, arabinoxylan, mannan, glucomannan and galactoglucomannan. Hemicelluloses have a backbone of 1,4-linked beta-D-pyranosyl residues in which O4 is in the equatorial orientation (e.g. Glc, Man, and Xyl). Xyloglucan is the predominant hemicellulose in the primary walls of dicots and non-graminaceous monocots and may account for up to 20% of the dry weight of the primary wall. Xyloglucan has a backbone composed of 1,4-linked beta-D-Glcp residues. Up to 75% of these residues are substituted at O6 with mono-, di-, or triglycosyl side chains.
