Apiose [3-(hydroxymethyl) -D-erythrofuranose] has been identified as a component of the carbohydrate moiety of glycosides from the juice of Muscat grapes by acid hydrolysis, alditol acetate derivatization of liberated sugars, and GC-MS. Permethylation of the bulk of glycosides and subsequent GC-MS analysis of the partially methylated alditol acetates showed that apiose was under terminal nonreducing position.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
