Cross-linking of arabinoxylans by ferulate dehydrodimers and incorporation of feruloylated
arabinoxylans into lignin were modelled with maize walls (Zea mays cv Black Mexican)
containing 5.3–18.0 mg g− 1 of total ferulates. The proportion of dehydrodimers to total
ferulates increased from ca 20 to 45% when dilute hydrogen peroxide was added to walls
containing bound peroxidase. About 45% of the dehydrodimers were coupled by 8-5
linkages, with 8-8, 8-O-4 and 5-5 coupled dehydrodimers each comprising 10–25% of the …
