Summary:The specificity of enzymes acting on pulp carbohydrates can be exploited in structural and chemical analysis of pulp fibres. Using the selective enzymatic solubilization, pulp components can be qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed, without attacking other components in pulps. Furthermore, the role of pulp components, such as xylan or glucomannan, in the technical properties of pulp can be evaluated after their enzymatic removal from pulp. This paper reviews the use of enzymes as analytical tools in the characterization of chemical pulps.
