“…With outstanding qualities (Wang & Liu, 2012), 31 hot water extraction is a popular pretreatment method to extract useful components from 32 woody biomass. During hot water extraction, most of hemicelluloses and extractives, as 33 well as a small amount of cellulose and lignin, are extracted from woody biomass (Liu, Chromatography (Sjöström & Alen, 1999), Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry 41 (Sjöström & Alen, 1999), Proton NMR (1D NMR) (Kiemle et al, 2004), or 42 Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence NMR (2D-HSQC) (Shupe et al, 2012). 43 Compared to the other methods, 2D-HSQC technique has unique merits, such as easy 44 sample preparation, fast determination, and most importantly provide a second dimension 45 to the spectrum which enables the data easier to be interpreted.…”
