Further Structural Study of the Xyloglucanase-derived Eggplant Xyloglucan Oligo-saccharides

Further structural study of the xyloglucanase-derived eggplant xyloglucan oligosaccharides was carried out to investigate the oligosaccharide units of xyloglucan from the cell-walls of eggplant in detail. The result shows that a hexasaccharide, XSG, a heptasaccharide, XX2GG, an octasaccharide, LX2GG and a nonasaccahride, LSGGG, in addition to the major oligosaccharides XXGG, LXGG, XLGG, XSGG, LLGG and LSGG, the structures of which were previously reported, are included in oligosaccharide units of eggplant xyloglucan.
