Abstract

Several oligosaccharide fragments, ranging from 2 to 9 contiguous residues, have been isolated from purified tamarind xyloglucan using enzymatic digestion and partial acid hydrolysis. Structures were determined using matrix assisted laser adsorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and Dionex high pH anion exchange–high performance liquid chromatography (HPAE–HPLC). These fragments will be used to identify reaction products from xyloglucan xylosyltransferase and glucosyltransferase enzyme assays and as possible acceptor molecules for these enzymes.
