Seven oligosaccharides were extracted from WPR using water extraction, ethanol precipitation, and preparative liquid chromatography. Identified by NMR with purities above 93%, they were DFA III (1), DFA VII (2), DFA II (3), \u03b2-D-Fructofuranose-1,2\u2032:2,1\u2032-\u03b2-D-Fructofuranose (4), DFA I (5), sucrose (6), and 1-kestose (7). Compounds 1\u20135 were newly isolated from WPR, and their contents increased post-processing. Measurements of color values, total reducing sugars, and the abundant DFA III and DFA I at different processing stages revealed a progressive darkening of the slices with more steaming cycles, showing a strong correlation between total color difference (Eab*) and sugar component changes. Additionally, DFA III and DFA I levels were much higher in commercial WPR than in raw material, suggesting these difructose anhydrides as potential markers for WPR.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15030584","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]],"date-time":"2026-02-05T16:30:47Z","timestamp":1770309047000},"page":"584","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Study on the Separation, Identification, and Quality Control Methods of Oligosaccharide Components in Wine-Processed Polygonati Rhizoma"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Hong","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haonan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"},{"name":"School of Functional Food and Wine, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang 110016, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"},{"name":"School of Functional Food and Wine, Shenyang Pharmaceutical University, Shenyang 110016, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhe","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xianlong","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9290-7184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongqiang","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7598-0723","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feng","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yazhong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Institute for Food and Drug Control, Hefei 230051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingzhe","family":"Pu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Institute for Food and Drug Control, Hefei 230051, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1368-5294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jianbo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jia","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5122-523X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenguang","family":"Jing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaohan","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Institutes for Food and Drug Control, Beijing 102629, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Pharmacopoeia Commission Executive Committee (2025).
