“…The saccharides were analyzed using the standard method outlined by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (CO, United States): hydrolysis with dilute sulfuric acid together with calibration using standard solutions of xylose, rhamnose, fucose, mannose, arabinose, galactose, galacturonic acid, glucose, glucuronic acid, and ribose ( Xu et al, 2021a ). The weight-average (Mw) and number-average (Mn) molecular weights of the FVPs were determined via high-performance gel permeation chromatography, as previously described in the literature ( Xu et al, 2021a ). Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of the FVPs were captured using an FT-IR microscope (model iN 10, Thermo Nicolet Corp.; Madison, WI, United States) fitted with a liquid nitrogen-cooled mercury-cadmium-telluride detector ( Xu et al, 2021b ).…”
