N2 - The carbohydrate units linked to caseinoglycopeptide from colostrum taken 30 min after parturition were released as reduced oligosaccharides by alkaline borohydride treatment, and separated into four acidic oligosacchariditols (a hexa- (11.0%), penta- (38.5%), tetra- (35.5%) and a trisacchariditol (15.0%)). Structural studies showed that the hexasacchariditol was a new structure and had the chemical structure: NeuNAc-α-2-3-Gal-β-1-3-[NeuNAc-α-2-3-Gal-β-1-4-GlcNAc-β-1-6-]-N-acetylgalactosaminitol(GalNAcItol). The other three oligosacchariditols were shown to be NeuNAc-α-2-3-Gal-β-1-3-[Gal-β-1-4-GlcNac- β-1-6-]-GalNAcItol, NeuNAc-α-2-3-Gal-β-1-3-[NeuNAc-α-2-6-]-GalNAcItol and NeuNAc-α-2-3-Gal-β-1-3- GalNAcItol, which were identical with those found previously in colostrum κ-casein taken 6 h after parturition.
