Hemicelluloses carbohydrate-based residues

The other analytical methods involving biomass composition that are currently in development (FT-IR, NIR, and pyMBMS) are able to resolve and quantify individual sugar composition. This is not possible with HR-TGA however, in conjunction with H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), sugar residues can be identified, and their abundance can be determined. Carbohydrate compositional profiles of lignocellulosic biomass can be accurately quantified based on the 600 MHz H-NMR spectram of unpurified acid hydrolyzates wherein the hemicellulose and cellulose ftactions of biomass have been reduced to a mixmre of sugars in acidic solution [23].
