Abstract:  Infrared spectra of three aldobiouronic acids: 6-0-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl- -D-galactose, 2-0-β-D-glucuronopyranosyl-D-mannose, and 6-0-(4-0-methyl- -ß-DTglucuronopyranosyl)-D-galactose and of their methyl (methyl glycosid)- uronates were recorded and absorption bands in the 900 —700 cm^-1 range interpreted. The identified absorption bands at 935 — 925, 890 — 875, and 785 —780 cm^-1 were assigned to the reducing end in the aldobiouronic acids. This conclusion was confirmed also by the strong band at 830 cm^-1 in the spectra of methyl (methyl glycosid)uronates of all three aldobiouronic acids where the influence of α  anomer became evident. The absorption bands in the region of 810 — 800 cm^-1 can be assigned to β-glycosidic bonds between the uronic acid residue and the hexose unit.
