Abstract
OLIGOSACCHARIDES composed of glucose and fructose units have been detected by various workers recently in extracts of Jerusalem artichoke, wheat flour, barley and agave. A number of oligosaccharides which are hydrolysed by invertase to glucose and fructose have now been found in ripe apricots. In one case a hexitol was also detected in the hydrolysis products.
