Testing services / Biomass carbohydrate composition

Biomass carbohydrate composition

During this biomass carbohydrate analysis, the sample is first hydrolyzed, after which the acid-insoluble fraction is filtered and monomeric sugars are analyzed with ion chromatography.

Monomeric sugars included in the analysis are glucose, mannose, galactose, xylose, and arabinose. Results are given as anhydro-sugars and hydrolysis loss is not taken into account.
