Lychnose (alpha-D-Gal-(1-->6)-alpha-D-Glc-(1-->2)-beta-D-Fru-(1-->1)-alpha-D-Gal) was isolated from Stellaria media, a representative member of the Caryophyllaceae plant family. Weak acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis and complete NMR characterization were performed to confirm the identity of the
While classic raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) such as raffinose and stachyose are common in plants, stachyose is absent in the Caryophyllaceae. Instead the tetrasaccharide lychnose α-d-Gal-(1→6)α-d-Glc-(1→2)β-d-Fru-(1→1)α-d-Gal can accumulate. Stellaria media, a representative member of
The raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), including raffinose (Gal-alpha(1-->6)-Glc-alpha(1-->2)beta-Fru), stachyose (Gal-alpha(1-->6)-Gal-alpha(1-->6)-Glc-alpha(1-->2)beta-Fru) and higher degree of polymerization RFOs are the most widespread galactosyl-oligosaccharides (GOS) in the plant
