Significance and Use4.1 The structural

Interferences5.1 The results of structural carbohydrate analysis are af-fected by incomplete hydrolysis of biomass or hydrolysisconditions that are too severe. Incomplete hydrolysi

30、s will biasthe results low because dimeric and oligomeric carbohydratesare not quantified. Hydrolysis conditions that are too severedegrade the liberated monosaccharides into materials that arenot quantified by this procedure, again biasing the results low.5.2 Incomplete neutralization and removal o

32、Test specimens not suitable for analysis by this proce-dure include alkaline and acid-pretreated biomass samples thathave not been washed. Unwashed pretreated biomass samplescontaining free acid or alkali may change visibly on heating.5.4 Materials containing nonstructural carbohydrates alsoare unsu
