The non-reducing trisaccharide planteose was first isolated22 by Wattiez and Hans from seeds of Plantago major and P. ovata. Extraction of de-fatted seeds of P. ovata with 70% alcohol, conversion of the sugars in the extract to their barium complexes, removal of the barium with sulfuric acid, and extraction of the evaporated sirup with 85% alcohol, gave solutions from which planteose dihydrate gradually crystallized it has m.p. 123-4°, [ ]d + 125.5° (in water).
