Abstract
Measurements were made in humidity scans at 80 degrees C in order to s tudy the influence of hemicellulose softening on the softening of wood pulp samples. In native wood, no hemicellulose softening could be det ected. Delignified samples showed a softening which disappeared when t he xylan was extracted. No softening of glucomannan could be detected in samples containing only glucomannan and cellulose. It is suggested that, in the fibre wall, xylan is associated with the lignin and gluco mannan with the cellulose.
