Abstract: A kind of soluble oligosaccharide, Burdock oligosaccharide(BOS2), was extracted by hot water, deproteinized by enzymolysis and Sevag method, precipated by ethanol, separated and purified by Sephadex G-50 column chromatography from burdock sub-standard root. Its purification, physical and chemical properties and structure were studied by means of some chemical reactions assay and instrumental analysis. The results show that BOS2 is composed of D-fructose and D-glucose in a molar ratio of about 12∶1, which is confirmed by the composition of 12 fructose residues linked by β(2→1) glucoside bond and 1 glucose residue linked by α(1→2) glucoside bond at the end of linear straight sugar chain. It is shown to be a single homogeneous component.
