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

J Agric Food Chem. 1999 Dec;47(12):4880-2. doi: 10.1021/jf990608v.

Abstract

Two known glycosides and a novel trisaccharide fatty acid ester were isolated from the n-butanol-soluble 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-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-1-O-octanoyl-beta-D-glucopyranose. The known compounds were identified as rutin and asperulosidic acid.
