Abstract
1. An oligosaccharide was isolated from extracts of crabeater seal mil k by preparative paper chromatography. 2. The saccharide was identifie d as Fuc alpha 1-2Gal beta 1-4Glc by H-1-NMR spectroscopy. 3. This wor k represents the first identification of an oligosaccharide, other tha n lactose, in the milk of a pinniped. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.
