A trisaccharide composed of two molecules of galactose and one molecule of L-fucose has been isolated after acetolysis of the group mucopoly-saccharide from pig stomach mucus. One of the galactose residues stands at the reducing end, and the L-fucose residue is readily split off with alkali, suggesting structure 1G-1G-1F or 1G_??_1_??_1F of the trisaccharide. The trisaccharide is named “gastrotrisaccharide”.
