The kit assay will only measure non-covalently linked monosaccharide (glucose).
Oligosaccharides or polysaccharides can be
measured after hydrolysis to monosaccharides. Generally, acid hydrolysis can be
achieved by boiling the oligo/polysaccharide in 1.3 M HCl for 1 h. It is
recommended that scientific literature is consulted for information on
hydrolysis conditions for the particular oligo/polysaccharide that is being
measured.
