Popis: Several unusual oligosaccharides have been isolated from the honeydew of Sphacelia sorghi McRae. These include 1-O-β- D -fructofuranosyl- D -mannitol, 5-O-β- D -fructofuranosyl- D -arabinitol, 1,6-di-O-β- D -fructofuranosyl- D -mannitol, 1,5-di-O-β- D -fructofuranosyl- D -arabinitol, and 1-O-β- D -fructofuranosyl-6-O-[β- D -fructofuranosyl-(2→6)-β- D -fructofuranosyl]- D -mannitol. In addition to these oligosaccharides, D -glucose, D -fructose, D -arabinitol, D -mannitol, sucrose, and 6-O-β- D -fructofuranosyl- D -glucose were also found in the honeydew. The structures of the previously undescribed oligosaccharides were determined by periodate oxidation studies, their cleavage by β- D -fructofuranosidase, optical rotation measurements, and methylation analysis by combined gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The position of linkage in the arabinitol-containing disaccharide was determined by incorporation of D -[1-3H]-arabinitol into a β- D -fructofuranosyl- D -arabinitol in vivo. The release of tritium-labeled formaldehyde during periodate oxidation of the product demonstrated that the β- D -fructofuranosyl moiety was linked to position 5 of the D -[1-3H]-arabinitol.
