Xylose uronic acid

RG-II [5] proportion of common and rare sugars like Ome-xylose, KDO, DHA number, type and distribution of uronic acids in the (side) chain attachment and distribution of RG-II chains over the pectic molecule presence and position of ferulic acid ... 

The reaction was monitored also by p.c. which showed clearly on increase in the relative proportion of uronic acids related to xylose. After 90 minutes of oxidation, only uronic acids were observed indicating the a-configuration.

Carbohydrate/O-acetyl content of P. deltoides LCCs appears in Table III. All purified LCCs were 0-acetylated moieties containing varying amounts of glucose, mannose, xylose, and uronic acids. Relative to xylose, the highest levels of uronic acid and 0-acetyl content were encountered in LCCs 1 and 2. LCC 1 was the sole moiety to contain galactose. Xylose was the most abundant sugar found in both LCCs 3 and 4, both of which also contained nearly equimolar amounts of glucose and mannose.
