摘要

Part of matrix polymers of flax bast fibre cell wall is tightly bound to cellulose and can not be extracted by conventional methods. To analyze these polymers, the residue, remaining after cell wall treatment with chelators and alkali, was dissolved in solution of lithium chloride in N,N-dimethylacetamide. Cellulose was precipitated by water and completely degraded by cellulase, giving the possibility to separate matrix polysaccharides, which remained in polymeric form. The obtained polymers were fractionated by gel permeation chromatography and characterized by monosaccharide analysis, staining with LM5 antibody and Yariv reagent, ¹H and ¹³C NMR. The total yield of the polysaccharides that are tightly bound to cellulose in flax fibre, was 4.6%. The major fractions (molecular mass 100–400 kDa) were composed of galactose, accompanied by two other significant monomers, GalA and Rha, with the ratio 1.1–1.4. Composition and structure of the cellulose bound galactan permit to consider it as fragment of the high-molecular mass (2000 kDa) galactan, synthesized by the developing fibres, while forming the secondary cell wall of gelatinous type.
