“…The major components of glucose, xylose, arabinose, acetic acid, and furans, as well as a wide variety of aliphatic acid compounds can be detected directly from hydrolysate samples by highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas chromatography (GC) using different columns and detectors (Franden et al 2013;Gu et al 2014). Minor components, especially for phenolic compounds, have been extracted from hydrolysate using organic solvents, concentrated by evaporation, and analyzed by gas chromatographymass spectrometer (GC-MS), liquid chromatographymass spectrometer (LC-MS), and/or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) (Gu et al 2014;Wang et al 2014). Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) has also been used for inorganic ion analysis and many different mineral elements such as magnesium, potassium, manganese, iron, copper, and calcium have been identified in lignocellulosic hydrolysates (Jin et al 2013;Le et al 2014).…”
