| ALT_DEFINITION |
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.
