“…(Combo, Aguedo, Goffin, Wathelet, & Paquot, 2012). POS mixtures can be formed of various types of oligomers and these structures are often characterised using chromatographic techniques such as HPAEC-PAD (Babbar, Dejonghe, Sforza, & Elst, 2017;Combo et al, 2013; n a a , and mass spectrometry (MS) (Leijdekkers, Huang, Bakx, Gruppen, & Schols, 2015;Ognyanov et al, 2016). MS allows structural patterns of complex molecules to be determined and has become the analytical method of choice in metabolomics research.…”
