The mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica. Part 2. The degraded polysaccharide

Abstract

The degraded polysaccharide produced on partial hydrolysis of the mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica has been shown by methylation analysis and periodate oxidation to be composed of chains of alternating α-1,4-D-galactopyranosyluronic acid and β-1,2-L-rhamnopyranosyl units to which are attached chains of β-1,6-D-galactopyranosyl units at position C-3 of most of the rhamnopyranosyl residues. The analytical data support the proposed structure.
