Trehalose, a non-reducing disaccharide from Ganoderma applanatum
树舌灵芝中分离得到非还原性二糖—海藻糖

Trehalose, a non-reducing disaccharide, was separated for the first time from Ganoderma applanatum fruit body. The structure of trehalose was determined by electrospray ionization mass spectrometric and NMR data. The content of trehalose was determined by improved anthrone-sulphuric acid colorimetric method and it was 0.48% of dried weight of G. applanatum fruit body. Mannitol was simultaneously obtained during separation of trehalose from G. applanatum.
