    Abstract

    Hemicelluloses are polymeric by-products of the production of paper pulp, with no food value. They can be modified to improve properties such as water repellency, possibly even with other pulping by-products. Waterbased flexo inks derived from hemicelluloses have been produced and demonstrated in packaging printing.
