Abstract
The oligosaccharide fractions from Allium cepa, A. porrum, Lolium multiflorum and Arrhenatherum elatius have been fractionated by adsorption chromatography on charcoal-Celite and partition chromatography on Celite columns. Two tri-saccharides, 1F-[beta]-fructosylsucrose and 6G-[beta]-fructosylsucrose, have been identified in all 4 extracts. The 2 grasses also contained smaller amounts of a trisaccharide which was tentatively identified as 6F-[beta]-fructosylsucrose. These findings are discussed in relation to possible mechanisms of fructosan biosynthesis in plants.
