Carbohydrates of the Milk of the Platypus [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1983 Twelve samples of milk of the platypus, Ornithorhynchus anatinus, had a mean content of 3· 3 % hexose. Of this, almost half was L-fucose. Of the total monosaccharides present in acid hydrolysates of the water-soluble carbohydrates, L-fucose constituted 33 %, D-galactose 29 %, glucosamine 20 %, D-glucose 11 % and sialic acid 7 %.
