Sinopsis:
"The composition of water-soluble carbohydrates from Agave tequilana plants of 2, 4 and 6½ years were
compared by HPLC, HPAEC-PAD, MALDI-TOF-MS and GC–MS. The plants of 2 years exhibited the highest
levels of free monosaccharide and low molecular weight fructans (DP 3–DP 6) with potential application
as prebiotics. A maximum of fructan polymerisation was achieved at 4 years with mean DP from 3 to 30,
then it was decreased at 6½ years with mean DP from 4 to 24."
