Post‐source decay fragment analysis using matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOFMS) has been applied to a highly branched xyloglucan heptasaccharide from tamarind seed. All fragment ions were produced by cleavage of the glycosidic linkages, including...
