Hemicelluloses (insoluble pentosans) from the tailings fraction of wheat flour were solubilized with dilute base and fractionated on a diethylaminoethyl cellulose column (borate form) into five fractions. Xylose, arabinose, and glucose were found in the acid hydrolysates of all of the fractions, xylose and arabinose occurring to the greatest extent. Galactose was found in the hydrolysates of fractions 4 and 5. Fraction 5 was the only fraction which contained protein in addition to the other sugars.
