Abstract
Treatment of xyloglucan from jojoba seeds with purified cellulase from Trichoderma viride, followed by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-2, yielded higher and lower oligosaccharide fractions. From the latter fraction, six kinds of pure oligosaccharides were obtained by preparative paper chromatography. Examination of the partial acid hydrolyzates of the oligosaccharides, the molar ratio of the component monosaccharides, treatment with partially purified β-glucosidase from Aspergillus oryzae enzyme preparation and the degree of polymeriza-tion by gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-2 showed them to be: (a) isoprimeverose; (b)_??_.
