Structural determination of some new oligosaccharides and analysis of the branching pattern of isomaltooligosaccharides from beer
摘要:
Separation of the low molecular weight fraction of oligosaccharides from beer and subsequent NMR analysis led to the identification of several new derivatives of trehalose, sucrose, maltooligosaccharides glucosylated at O-2 of reducing end Glc, and linear Glc oligomers with alpha-(1-->3) and alpha-(1-->4)-linkages. Reducing oligosaccharides were labeled with 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin by reductive amination, separated according to their molecular weight and the branching pattern was studied using enzymatic (pullulanase) degradation in combination with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and HPLC analysis. It was found that up to DP 10 isomaltooligosaccharides mostly consisted of a linear reducing alpha-(1-->4)-linked Glc chain substituted by single maltose or maltotriose residue at O-6 of any residue except the reducing one.
