Detailed explanation-1: -Cellulose is a polymer made with repeated glucose units bonded together by beta-linkages. Humans and many animals lack an enzyme to break the beta-linkages, so they do not digest cellulose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) are defined here as free, low molecular weight sugars (i.e., oligosaccharides such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, etc.) plus starch. NSC was analysed as described in Hoch et al.
