The invention provides a method of modifying soluble xylan which contains glucuronic acid and / or arabinose side chains so that it can be adsorbed onto other substrates. The method includes the steps of enzymatically modifying the xylan by selectively removing glucuronic acid and / or arabinose side chains from the xylan with α-D-glucuronidase and / or α-L-arabinofuranosidase, and allowing the modified xylan to adsorb onto the substrate. The substrate may be a cellulosic substrate like pulp or paper or a non-cellulosic substrate.
