Glucofructans from Saussurea lappa (Asteraceae) roots were studied. It was found that free fructose and oligomeric glucofructans (saccharose, 1-kestose, nystose, 1F-β-fructofuranosylnystose, and 1F-β-fructofuranosyl-1F-β-fructofuranosylnystose) were present. The dominant polymer Sl-GF (MW 51.4 kDa), which was a linear inulin-type glucofructan consisting of β-(2 → 1)-bonded fructofuranose units, was isolated and characterized. The total content of glucofructans in Saussurea lappa roots was 476.97–578.27 mg/g.
