Verbascotetraose is a disaccharide that is found in plants. Its chemical structure is composed of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule. Verbascotetraose is produced by the plant tissue through a biosynthetic process, which involves the transfer reactions of phosphorylated hexoses. The resulting product is then converted to stachyose and oligosaccharides by dephosphorylation, glycan synthesis, and chromatographic method. The production of verbascotetraose has been demonstrated in soybean products incubated with cellotriose and glycoside derivatives.
