Abstract

Monosaccharide composition analysis is critical for understanding the structure of polysaccharides, as it could provide the first clue of the structural information. For example, polysaccharides containing arabinose and xylose are mostly assigned to arabinoxylan family; polysaccharides composed of galactose and mannose mostly belong to galactomannan group; pectic polysaccharides are mostly constructed by galacturonic acid and some neutral monosaccharides.
