Eight isomers of the trisaccharide, mono-&y-D-galactosyl sucrose are possible according to the way in which the D-galactosyl group is linked to the sucrose molecule [11. Six of these have been isolated and characterised from various plant sources [11. Three of the isomers (unnamed members) are suspected to be formed as products of partial degradation of structurally related higher oligosaccharides [l-5]. The other three isomers, planteose, raffinose and umbelliferose are major reserve oligosaccharides of the seeds of a number of plant species [11. The biosynthesis of the latter two members have been shown to proceed through a pathway involving UDP-galactose as the galactosyl donor [6-131. However, in the synthesis of raffinose, galactinol [O+ D-galactopyranosyl-(1-+ l)-myo-inositol] can also act as an important galactosyl donor [14,151. As regards the biosynthesis of planteose [&y-D-galactopyranosyl-( 1+ 6)-/3-D-fructofuranosyl aD-glucopyranoside], only limited work has been reported in the literature; it was suggested that this oligosaccharide might be synthesised through ar-D-galactosyl transfer to sucrose, catalysed by a-galactosidase [161. Similar enzymic galactosylation involving low-energy galactosyl donors have long been demonstrated[17-201. These reactions, however, require high concentrations of donors and acceptors. This communication describes identification of the planteose family of oligosaccharides and their synthesis through UDP-galactose mediated pathway in the seeds of Sesamum indicum(sesame).Abbreviations: Pl, planteose; Pl,(sesamose) and PI,, the higher homologs of planteose, tetra-and pentasaccharides, respectively, containing additional cu-Dgalactose moiety attached to Cd of the existing Dgalactosyl group of the molecule
