Comparison of cell wall composition between C_4 (tropical) and C_3 (temperate) grasses attracts an interest by both animal nutritionists and plant taxonomists. OJIMA and ISAWA concluded that the hemicellulose of tropical grasses was characterized by higher content of glucose and lower content of xylose than those of temperate grasses, based on the result of paper chromatographic analysis. In recent years, hemicellulose chemistry has made a remarkable progress. Much of the progress can be attributed to more accurate methods of determining the component sugars. Especially, derivatization of sugars to their corresponding alditol acetates has made it possible to analyze carbohydrates quantitatively using gas chromatography. We also attempted to use this method to determine monosaccharide composition of hemicellulose in some tropical and temperate grasses.
