Studies on the Structure of Gluco-oligosaccharides Obtained from the Partial Acid Hydrolyzate of Sclerotia of Sclerotinia libertiana

Part I. Separation of Oligosaccharides from the Acid Partial Hydrolyzate of Defatted Sclerotia

Abstract

The defatted sclerotia powder was partially hydrolyzed with dilute acid, and the material obtained was fractionated by carbon column chromatography, separated into two disaccharides, three trisaccharides and three tetrasaccharides, respectively. In these hydrolyzates, α, α-trehalose, laminaribiose, and gentiobiose were identified.
