Abstract
⺠Oligosaccharides (OS) from Aloe vera polysaccharide were obtained using endo-mannanase. ⺠OS were analyzed by ESI-MS and MALDI-MS, by sugar and methylation analysis. ⺠Polysaccharide is a galactomannan with arabinose and acetyl groups as side chains. ⺠Acetyl groups, in an average of two per monosaccharide, were non-homogeneously distributed. ⺠Lower branching and higher acetylation seems to promote immunostimulatory activity.
