A. Kardosova et M. Matulova, A FRUCTOFURANAN FROM THE ROOTS OF RUDBECKIA-FULGIDA, VAR. SULLIVAITTII (BOYNTON ET BEADLE), Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 62(11), 1997, pp. 1799-1803
From the roots of Rudbeckia fulgida, var. sullivantii (BOYNTON et BEAD
LE), a homogeneous polysac charide has been isolated by water extracti
on and subsequent ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration of th
e crude mixture of polysaccharides. Its molar composition determined b
y NMR and HPLC analyses was found to be D-fructose and D-glucose in th
e ratio 26 : 1. The results of methylation analysis and H-1 and C-13 N
MR spectral measurements showed that the polysaccharide is a (2 --> 1)
-beta-D-fructofuranan of the inulin type.
