A simple method for elucidating structures of galactomanno-oligosaccharides by sequential actions of beta-mannosidase and alpha-galactosidase.

were directly attached through the 0-6 position. However, the precise location of the galactose stub was still unidentified, because we wereunable to find the position of the stub using physico-chemical procedures. This paper describes a simple method for elucidating structures ofgalactomanno-oligosaccharides using sequential actions /?-mannosidase and a-galactosidase, and also a structural study of four kinds of galactomanno-oligosaccharides.
