Abstract:
Two unidentified sugars were isolated from rose petals using HPLC. The isolated compounds were identified as methyl β-glucopyranoside and xylose using (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, and GC-MS. Methyl β-glucopyranoside and xylose were distributed in three cultivars tested relatively in large amounts. These results indicate that methyl β-glucopyranoside and xylose occur universally as soluble sugar constituents in roses.
