Structural confirmation of oligosaccharides newly isolated from sugar beet molasses

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Sugar beet molasses is a viscous by-product of the processing of sugar beets into sugar. The molasses is known to contain sucrose and raffinose, a typical trisaccharide, with a well-established structure. Although sugar beet molasses...
