As far as possible and customary, SI units are used. Unless otherwise noted, the data given apply to standard conditions .

Umbelliferose is a triple sugar (trisaccharide) that occurs predominantly in umbellifers . In some species it replaces - in whole or in part - the starch as reserve material . It is formed biosynthetically by the enzyme sucrose-galactosyl transferase transferring a galactosyl residue from UDP- galactose to sucrose .
