Abstract
A method is described for preparing the trimethylsilyl ethers of the kestoses in aqueous solution over a wide range of concentrations using a reagent consisting of four parts trimethylsilylimidazole and one part pyridine. Under certain conditions a two phase system is formed with the kestose derivatives concentrated in the top phase. The kestoses may be quantitatively determined by adding meiezitose as an internal standard to the mixture before silylation.
