Abstract
From the sap of the sugar maple (Acersaccharum Marsh) two trisaccharides have been isolated by column and paper chromatography. One was identified as O-β-D-fructofuranosyl-(2 → 6)α-D-glucopyranosyl(1 → 2)β-D-fructofuranoside (6G-fructosylsucrose), the other was tentatively established as either 6F-fructosylsucrose or 1F-fructosylsucrose. These trisaccharides are not related in either composition or structure to the polysaccharides present in the sap and wood.
