The monosaccharide are made up of rhamnose, glucose, mannitose, galactose and xylose.It offers foundation for boosting biological activities by hydrolyzing saponins. 硅胶薄层层析证明刺嫩芽皂甙的单糖可能由鼠李糖、葡萄糖、甘露糖、半乳糖和木糖组成，这为酶水解提高刺嫩芽皂甙活性研究提供了依据。
The result indicates that the main metabolic product of petroleum hydrocarbon degradation is acetic acid and surface active agent of glycolipid composed of fatty acid and rhamnose. 实验表明,微生物降解原油代谢产物主要是乙酸和以棕榈酸为主的脂肪酸与鼠李糖形成的糖酯类表面活性剂。
Rhamnose (Rham) is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar. It can be classified as either a methyl-pentose or a 6-deoxy-hexose. Rhamnose occurs in nature in its L-form as L-rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose). This is unusual, since most of the naturally occurring sugars are in D-form. Exceptions are the methyl pentoses L-fucose and L-rhamnose and the pentose L-arabinose.
