Abstract
The neutral polysaccharide component of linseed mucilage has been isolated and examined. On acidic hydrolysis it furnished mainly D-xylose and L-arabinose. Periodate oxidation experiments showed that the polysaccharide is of the branched chain type. Methylation experiments have confirmed this result and have given additional information on the structure of the polysaccharide.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
