From: Effects of agitation on particle-size distribution and enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated spruce and giant reed

Spruce solids	% of WIS	Spruce liquid	g/L	Giant reed solids	% of WIS
Glucan	53.8	Glucose	32.4	Glucan	53.8
Mannan	nd	Mannose	40.0	Mannan	nd
Galactan	nd	Xylose	15.5	Galactan	nd
Xylan	nd			Xylan	9.6
Arabinan	nd			Arabinan	nd
Lignin	43.3			Lignin	31.3

The WIS content of giant reed and spruce were determined to be 28% and 17% (wt/wt) respectively. (nd, not detected, below the sensitivity of the instrument). WIS, water-insoluble solids.
