The hemicelluloses of aspen word (Populus tremuloides).

The solvent effect of liquid ammonia on woody materials, particularly sugar maple wood, was studied in this laboratory by Yan in 1947. It was found that nearly 6% by weight of maple wood was soluble and the extract consisted of a mixture of lignin, polysaccharides and acetamide, the latter substance...
