Abstract
THE interesting suggestion that the oligosaccharides formed from sucrose may be the precursors of polysaccharides such as inulin and levan requires verification by the establishment of the identity and type of linkage of each of these compounds1. The recent discovery of their presence in plant extracts2 and human urine3 is a certain indication of their significance in metabolic processes.
