Stachyose series

Courtois and coworkers1,50 observed that, in plants, the abundance (distribution) of the oligosaccharides of this series is inversely proportional to their molecular weight. However, when a plant organ accumulates these oligosaccharides, this relationship may not hold. Thus, one kg of the seeds of V. sativa gave 1.12 g of stachyose, 2.5 g of ver-... 

The unusual utility of this adsorbent has been demonstrated by its role in the preliminary isolation of isomaltose,maltotriose, maltotetra-086, = and panose > from the hydrolytic products of starch in the preparation of n-xylo-biose, -trio.se, -tetraose, -pentaose, -hexaose, and -heptaose from a partially hydrolyzed xylan in the resolution of bi-molecular dianhydrides of L-sorbose < and D-fructose < > in an improved procedure for the preparation of stachyose and in the preparation of a series of maltodextrins (as high as maltoheptaose) from the partial, acid...
