Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If partial deacetylation products
Less than fully substituted oligosaccharides may classify differently
If hydrolyzed to dextrin fragments
Oligosaccharide hydrolysates become Chapter 35 products
If <95% regioselectivity
Requires complete substitution pattern for sugar ester classification
