The monosaccharides present in the extracted polysaccharides were glucose (>90%), rhamnose, galactose and mannose.
Analytical GC and GC MS were performed for quantitative and qualitative analysis of monosaccharides present in the purified fraction using alditol acetate derivatives with inositol as an internal standard [15].
After digestion and absorption the principal monosaccharides present in the blood and internal tissues include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
D-glucose, D-xylose and L-arabinose are the three major monosaccharides in plant cell walls.
In all fractions studied, arabinose and galactose were the major monosaccharides found, supporting that arabinogalactans are the primary macromolecules.
The quantitative composition of monosaccharides present in exopolysaccharide (EPS) is distinct from those found in CPS (34 ).
The major monosaccharides released by acid hydrolysis were glucose, xylose and arabinose, which represent, respectively, about 60%, 32%and4-54-5%of totalotal sugars of the whole biomass.
It efficiently converts all major monosaccharides generated from plant cell wall depolymerisation [ 8], and some polysaccharides like starch, into acids and solvents during the ABE (Acetone Butanol Ethanol) fermentation process [ 9, 10].
However, little is known about gene expression profiles during L-arabinose utilization in fungi and a comparison of the genome-wide fungal response to these three major monosaccharides has not yet been reported.
Also, as Ara and Gal are two major monosaccharides branched in xylans in grasses [ 26, 57, 58], the Ara and Gal substitution degrees could be determinants in hemicellulosic structures.
