The cell wall structural polysaccharides of barleyendosperm consist primarily of b-glucan, arabinoxylan
and cellulose. The cell walls of barley endosperm contain about 75% b-glucan and 20% arabinoxylan,
whereas the aleurone cell walls contain 26% b-glucan and 71% arabinoxylan (Jadhav, Lutz, Ghorpade, &Salunkhe, 1998).
