GB/T 45556-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering how much pentosan a plant material contains — the extraction of the water-soluble and water-insoluble fractions with water and saturated barium hydroxide, the xylanase hydrolysis that releases arabinose and xylose, the derivatisation with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, pyridine and acetic anhydride under a fume hood because the reagents are toxic, the solid phase clean-up, and the gas chromatography with mass spectrometry that measures the two sugars whose sum is the reported result. It applies to cereals, tea, sugar cane, coconut milk and edible fungi. First edition, in force from 1 November 2025. Issued on 25 April 2025, it has been in force since 1 November 2025.

Determination of Pentosan Content in Products of Plant Origin GC-MS Warning---The derivatization reagents used in the experiment contain toxic substances. The sample derivatization process should be carried out in a fume hood.
Please wear protective equipment and avoid contact with skin and clothing.
1 Scope
This document describes a method for the determination of pentosan content in products of plant origin by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
This document applies to pentosans in wheat and bran, sorghum, millet, rice, soybeans, tea, sugar cane, pineapple peel, coconut milk, reed root, and edible fungi.
Determination of content. Other plant-derived products shall be implemented in accordance with the same regulations.

3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1 Pentosan
A condensation product of pentose (five-carbon sugar).
Note. The pentosan content in this document is calculated as the sum of arabinose and xylose.
4 Principle
Plant-derived products use water and saturated barium hydroxide solution as extractants to extract water-soluble pentosans or water-insoluble pentosans, respectively.
The product was hydrolyzed by xylanase to obtain arabinose and xylose as the main hydrolysis products. Hydroxylamine hydrochloride, pyridine and acetic anhydride were used as derivatization reagents.
The arabinose and xylose derivatives were obtained by solid phase extraction column purification and quantitative determination by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
The sum of the arabinose and xylose contents generated by the hydrolysis of sugars and water-insoluble pentosans was converted into the pentosan content in the plant-based product.
5 Reagents and Materials
Unless otherwise stated, all reagents used in this method were of analytical grade.
5.1 Reagents
5.1.1 Barium hydroxide [Ba(OH)2, CAS No.. 17194-00-2].
