Glycosidic linkage analysis of fructans purified from immature cereal crops. (A) Total ion current (TIC) chromatograms of fructans purified from the kernel and stem sections of immature winter wheat (blue), spring wheat (green), and barley (purple) (7 DAA). (B) EI-MS spectra for peaks 1–9 with corresponding PMAA structures. (C) Composition of glycosidic linkages present in the six fructan samples
