A mannooligosaccharide mixture was obtained by hydrolysis of spent coffee grounds. Furthermore, beta-1,4-D-mannobiose, beta-1,4-D-mannotriose, beta-1,4-D-mannotetraose, and beta-1,4-D-mannopentaose were fractionated by active carbon chromatography from this mixture. Each mannooligosaccharide were in...
