title: [Study on oligosaccharides from Morinda officinalis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the oligosaccharides from Morinda officinalis How.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compounds were isolated by chromatography, and their structures were identified by spectral analysis and chemical evidences.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Six compounds were isolated and identified as sucrose (I), inulin-type trisaccharide (II), inulin-type hexasaccharide (III), inulotriose (IV), inulotetraose (V), inulopentaose (VI).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compound IV, V and VI are isolated from Morinda officinalis for the first time.
