Polysaccharides of Soybeans. VI. Neutral Polysaccharides from Cotyledon Meal

Abstract
An arabinan and the previously characterized arabinogalactan and acidic polysaccharide complex have been isolated by extraction of defatted and deproteinized soybean cotyledon meal with water. Methylation analysis involving gas chromatography – mass spectrometry of methylated alditol acetates formed from the methylated arabinan has shown that the parent polysaccharide is highly branched and of the same structural type as other arabinans associated with pectins. Methylated derivatives of mustard seed and lemon-peel arabinans and of soybean arabinogalactan have been similarly analyzed.
