The sucrose available for exporting from mesophyll cells is transported through the phloem to the sink organs, where it can be stored as starch in amyloplasts or converted to hexoses (LEMOINE et al., 2013) by invertase (acidic and neutral isoforms) and sucrose synthase (susy) enzymes (STURM; TANG, 1999; WINTER; HUBER, 2000; WELHAM et al., 2009).
As a facultative anaerobic, Sporolactobacillus, a spore-forming, gram-positive bacterium, can produce D-lactic acids by homo-fermentation of hexoses [35].

Limayem and Ricke (2012) reported that, during the degradation of sugars in the acidic pretreatment, the inhibitors furfural, derived mainly from the dehydration of pentoses, and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), from the dehydration of hexoses, were formed, coupled to phenolic and acetic acid.
Similarly, [[M-H].sup.-] ions at m/z 463 also produced fragment ions at m/z 300 [[Y0-1].sup.-] and m/z 301 [[[Y.sub.0]].sup.-] indicating a hexose substitution of quercetin and was identified as quercetin-3-O-galactoside (hyperoside).
