Abstract
DURING work on the oligosaccharides of Phaseolus vulgaris, L. (namely, verbascose, stachyose, raffinose and sucrose1–3—the raffinose family of oligosaccharides1), an examination was made of the enzymes catalysing the hydrolysis of these saccharides. α-Galactosidase and sucrase activities were found in the ungerminated and germinated seeds.
