U-13C Hemicellulose

Hemicellulose is a complex carbohydrate that is widely present in plant cell walls, serving as a supportive framework for cellulose. Among its various isotopic forms, U-13C labeled hemicellulose is a version enriched with carbon-13 isotopes. It offers critical insights in environmental science, biotechnology, and biochemical research with its ability to precisely track carbon pathways. Alfa Chemistry is a world-renowned provider of stable isotope-labeled products with many years of development and extensive industry experience. Here, we have developed a series of U-13C hemicellulose derived from various plants.

Typical applications

• Environmental Science: Researchers can use U-13C hemicellulose to investigate carbon cycling within ecosystems. By tracing the fate of carbon-13, scientists can better understand how carbon moves through plants, soils, and microbial communities, ultimately informing climate change models.
• Plant Metabolism Studies: In plant physiology, U-13C hemicellulose allows for in-depth exploration of carbon allocation pathways within the plant cell wall. This research is essential for understanding plant growth, stress response, and the potential for biomass production in renewable energy applications.
• Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering: U-13C hemicellulose provides invaluable data in the study of lignocellulosic biomass conversion, particularly in the production of biofuels and bioproducts. By tracking labeled carbon atoms, researchers can monitor enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation processes, helping optimize conversion efficiency and yield in industrial applications. For example, the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based commodity chemicals is technically feasible, and it can be realized by fast pyrolysis. However, the selectivity and recovery rates remain low in this strategy. The mixtures of unlabeled and 13C-labeled hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin can be used to gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon to improve selectivity and recovery rates.
