1D-NMR (1H and 13C) and 2D-NMR
spectroscopy as well as chemical means have been used to
determine the structures of three new feruloylated disaccharides
derived from acid hydrolysis
of corn hulls. The structures of these oligosaccharides were
determined to be
O-(2‘-O-trans-feruloyl-α-l-arabinofuranosyl)-(1→3)-β−d-xylopyranose,
O-[2‘-O-methoxyl-5‘-O-(E)-feruloyl]-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1→3)-β-d-xylopyranose,
and
O-[2‘-O-methoxyl-5‘-O-(Z)-feruloyl]-α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1→3)-d-β-xylopyranose.
