Note: The following variables are given: δ2He1 and δ2He2 are average δ2H values in ‰ of all replicates and repetitions (cellulose and sugars as three independent repetitions with each water, each time in triplicates; starch and digested starch as one measurement per water with three replicates) with e1 representing the equilibration with water 1 and e2 representing the equilibration with water 2, SDe1 and SDe2 are the standard deviations of all repetitions (= precision), xe depicts the proportion of exchanged hydrogen during the equilibration in % [Equation (2)], xe.pot is the potential maximum proportion of exchangeable hydrogen based on the proportion of oxygen‐bound hydrogen in %, δ2Hne represents the calculated δ2H of the non‐exchangeable hydrogen in ‰ [Equation (3)], δ2Hnitro denotes the δ2H of the corresponding nitrated compound in ‰, δ2Hne‐δ2Hnitro depicts the difference between δ2Hne and δ2Hnitro in ‰ (= accuracy), Rep. = reproducibility, given as standard deviation between the resulting δ2Hne of the three independent repetitions for cellulose and sugars in ‰, N.A., not available.
