Monosaccharide composition analysis of polysaccharides from natural sources: Hydrolysis condition and detection method development

Monosaccharide composition analysis is indispensable for the structural characterization and bioactive studies of polysaccharides. Besides, it is also helpful for the quality control of functional polysaccharides. The process is usually carried out by hydrolyzing the polysaccharides into monosaccharides, and then detecting liberated monosaccharides or their derivatives. However, the accuracy is not guaranteed owing to improper experimental...
