Preferred Label : Lignin;
Alternative definition : CRCH: A type of dietary fiber for which a complete structure is not well defined in
part because the lignin structure itself differs between plant species (I.e., no single
structure exists) and because each lignin polymer is formed as a complex pattern of
monomeric units attached to protein and to structural carbohydrates. The complexity
of the chemical structure of lignin can be explained by random polymerizations involving
one of four main phenoxyl radicals formed upon the action of peroxidase. (The Handbook
of Dietary Fiber);
