Abstract

Sugar derivatives are critically important in nutritional, pharmaceutical, and some non-food industries. Amino sugars are more important as essential components of many drugs, antibiotics, and biopolymers. Hence, a novel amino sugar compound is worthy of investigation for identification and production. A novel amino sugar compound was identified from crude extracts of Korean pine seed embryos. This new compound was isolated from extracts using traditional purification steps. The pure compound was white in color with a melting point of 145°C. HPLC, TLC, FT-IR, and NMR analyses of the compound indicated a trisaccharide form of amino mannose that was polymerized with β-(1→2) glycosidic bonding. Computer-aided NMR spectral analysis of the trisaccharide of 2-dehydro-2-mannosamine exhibited a 96% match with the 13C-NMR spectrum of the new compound.
