A-l,6-Glycosidic link

Cylodextrins (CDs) are a class of chiral cyclic oligosaccharides that have molecule-sized cavities. They commonly comprise between six and eight D-glucopyranoside units that are linked via a-l,4-glycosidic links. Their bowl-shaped form is generally represented as a cylindrical funnel by analogy to the calixarenes family. There is a large number of cyclodextrin derivatives in the... 

Mannans polysaccharides widely distributed in plants as reserve material, and in association with cellulose as hemicellulose. M. of plants consists of D-mannose predominantly in a-l,4-glycosidic link-...
