Preface
The twenty-first century has a remarkable increase in concerns related to environ-
mentalpreservation,humanhealth,food,andeco-friendlyprocessdevelopment.In
this context, the biorefinery concept has been applied for sustainable development
and bioproducts for human consumption. Biomass is the raw material in the
biorefineryprocessthatthroughitsbreakdownproducesmacromolecules/polymers
and important derivatives. Hemicellulose is a polysaccharide presentin lignocellu-
losicmaterialsandaprecursorfordifferentbioproducts.Forexample,frombiomass
can be produced biocomponents that are added to foods that work as prebiotic
supplements,whichhaveanincreasedmarket.Hemicellulosederivatives(including
furancompounds)arekeycomponentsinaplatformfortheproductionofchemicals,
biofuels, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Hemicellulose can collaborate to face the
mostimportanthumanchallenges:energyproduction,sustainablefeedstocksource,
and environmental protection. There is a prevailing need that seeks alternative
energy sources, alternative biopolymers, biodegradable materials, and polymer/
chemicals for advanced material production. Hemicellulose is appropriate to these
applications,contributingtodecreasethefossildependenceforfuelsandchemicals

in the circular bioeconomy (Chap. 2) and its life cycle (Chap. 3). Some chapters
introduce the idea of hemicellulose solubilization/production; however, a deep
understanding of its chemical composition and structure is needed (Chap. 4), as
well as its chemical, physicochemical, and biological characterization (Chap. 5).
Hemicellulose can have improved properties according to new perspectives of
application by chemical (Chap. 6) or biological modifications (Chap. 7). Among
theseapplications,bioplasticsandbiomaterialshaveaspecialhemicellulosecontri-
bution (Chap. 8). Hemicellulose can be hydrolyzed in oligomers with diverse
biologicalactivity (Chap. 9)andalsowith arecognizedpotentialonfoodnutrition
(Chap. 10).Hydrolyzed hemicellulose into monomeric sugars isaraw materialfor
fermentable processes (Chap. 11) or conversion processes into chemical building
blocks (Chap. 12) such as furan compounds (Chap. 13). Hemicellulose-based
biomaterials have been already applied in biomedical and pharmaceutical fields
(Chap. 14), with a remarkable contribution in chemical/drug delivery systems
(Chap.15).
This book is a joint effort of enthusiastic researchers working on hemicellulose
useandthebiorefineryprocessforobtaininghighvalue-addedproducts.Thisjoint
effort would not have been possible without the support of many colleagues and

About This Book
Hemicellulosesareplantcellwallpolysaccharides,withdiversechemicalstructures
and properties. It is the second most spread and found organic polymer in nature
(lignocellulosicmaterialsfromagroandindustrialwastes)representingarenewable
raw material. This book provides knowledge considering studies on hemicellulose
productionlifecycleandaspectsofcirculareconomy,andmethodsofchemicaland
biologicalcharacterization.Biorefineryhasanimportantcontributiontohemicellu-
lose production associated with biomass industrial processes. Hemicellulose has
been taken as a promissory alternative source of sugars for renewable fuels and a
platformforchemicalsproduction.Thisbookreviewschemicalprocessesforsugar
production, sugar degradation routes and products, and challenges for pentose
fermentation. Various aspects of hemicellulose chemical and biological
modifications are presented with a focus on physicochemical properties improve-
ment. Hemicellulose is evaluated as a raw material for bioplastic production, with
important concerns on environmental preservation. Besides, hemicellulose is
presentedasacomponentofadvancedmaterialsforbiomedicalandpharmaceutical
uses, and as a hydrogel for chemicals and drug delivery. This book joins expert’s
knowledge in biorefinery applications and processes for hemicellulose conversion
into high value-added products such as monosaccharides and oligosaccharides,
intermediatecompoundsforachemicalplatform,biomaterials,andbiofuels.
