| 3,4 linked Galactopyranose | 2392068 | 13.6 |
| 3,4 linked Glucopyranose | 1063116 | 6.0 |
| 2,4 linked Gluco or Galactopyranose | 783793 | 4.4 |
| 4,6 linked Mannopyranose | 1368136 | 7.8 |

1Note that 5 linked xylofuranose and 4-linked xylopyranose are not distinguished in this assay as they have the same derivative. 2Area percentages are not corrected for response factor and thus may not be representative of molar ratios.
