A revised system of abbreviated names is proposed for xyloglucan‐derived oligosaccharides. Each (1→4)‐linked β‐ d ‐glucosyl residue (and the reducing terminal ‐glucose moiety) backbone given a one‐letter code according to its substituents. The name oligosaccharide consists these letters listed in sequence from non‐reducing terminus backbone.
