Novel trisaccharide fatty acid ester identified from the fruits of Morinda citrifolia (noni)

Two known glycosides and a novel trisaccharide fatty acid ester were isolated from the n-butanolsoluble fraction of the fruits of Morinda citrifolia (noni). Structure determination was carried out by spectral techniques such as MS, IR, NMR, and 2D-NMR. The novel trisaccharide fatty acid ester was elucidated as 2,6-di-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-1-O-octanoyl-β- D-glucopyranose. The known compounds were identified as rutin and asperulosidic acid.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
