Medicinal plants have a fundamental role in the world health, they can be used

Numberless species are explored for their pharmacological effects, among them
R
are the chamomile. Chamomilla recutita [L.] Rauschert, commonly called German

produce these properties and also can exhibit strong biological effects per se
capacity of escaping the digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract and become
available for fermentation by microbiota is already known and can be linked to their
configuration, amount and size of branches and molar mass (Cantu-Jungles, Cipriani,
Iacomini, Hamaker, & Cordeiro, 2017; Roberfroid, 2007a, 2007b). Thus, in the present

Thus, the results showed that chamomile tea contains as main polysaccharides a
highly methyl esterified and acetylated homogalacturonan and inulin, besides high
residues (Yakovlev & Gorin, 1977), but the structural characterization of the polymer
has not been performed by the authors. Later, Füller and Franz (1993) observed the
presence of a fructan of the inulin type in their C. recutita extracts, but the presence of
FOS in chamomile tea has not been reported in the literature yet. Fructans are
commonly found in species from the Asteraceae family, to which C. recutita belongs.
These can be found as reserve polymers in the tuberous roots of Jerusalem artichoke
T
(Helianthus tuberosus) (Saengthongpinit & Sajjaanantakul, 2005), chicory (Cichorium

intybus) (Toneli, Park, Ramalho, Murr, & Fabbro, 2008) and yacon (Smallanthus

further purified by anion exchange chromatography in DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow. The

column was eluted with water, giving a fraction (SF-EN-AG) composed mainly of
galactose and arabinose (Table 1). Methylation analysis of carboxyl reduced sample

Arabinose was present as terminal, 5-O- and 3,5-di-O-substituted Araf units. Terminal
