Abstract:

Xylanase was used to treat pulp for the purpose of reducing the hexenuronic acid content. The results indicate that xylanase treatment is effective in reducing the hexenuronic acid content, that with a xylanase dosage of 10U/g, the contents of hexenuronic acid in wheat straw pulp, Triploid of Populus Tomentosa pulp and eucalyptus pulp decrease respectively by 3.46, 7.83 and 7.71 μmol/g, and that, with the increase of xylanase dosage within a range of 0 - 15 U/g, the content of hexenuronic acid in wheat straw pulp gradually decreases while that in Triploid of Populus Tomentosa pulp decreases first and then keeps almost constant when the xylanase dosage reaches 10 U/g.

Key words: hexenuronic acid, xylanase, pulp, Kappa number
