Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

Pectin substances have been isolated from the epigeal pan of love-lies-bleeding,Amaranthus cruentus (A. caudatus), and have been characterized. The presence in them of galacturonic acid, galactose, rhamnose, xylose, arabinose, fructose, and glucose residues has been established. The titrimetric indices of the substances isolated have been determined and they have been studied by IR spectroscopy.
