The glycosyl residue compositions were determined by GC analysis of the TMS methyl glycosides. The retention times and response factors of component sugars were compared to those of authentic standards that had been treated in an identical manner. Molar ratios were normalized to glucose (see Methods) and rounded to the nearest 0.25. Tr, trace.
