Raffinose description |
---|
Raffinose is a trisaccharide composed of galactose, glucose, and fructose. It can be found in beans, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, other vegetables, and whole grains. Raffinose can be hydrolyzed to D-galactose and sucrose by the enzyme -galactosidase (-GAL), an enzyme not found in the human digestive tract. -GAL also hydrolyzes other -galactosides such as stachyose, verbascose, and galactinol, if present. The enzyme does not cleave -linked galactose, as in lactose. * The raffinose family of oligosaccharides (RFOs) are alpha-galactosyl derivatives of sucrose, and the most common are the trisaccharide raffinose, the tetrasaccharide stachyose, and the pentasaccharide verbascose. RFOs are almost ubiquitous in the plant kingdom, being found in a large variety of seeds from many different families, and they rank second only to sucrose in abundance as soluble carbohydrates. * Humans and other monogastric animals (pigs and poultry) do not possess the -GAL enzyme to break down RF |
