Pectinic substances were isolated in 3.82% yield of the fresh material mass from leaves of Aloe arborescens Mill. (Asphodelaceae). Fractionation over DEAE-cellulose produced the dominant polymer APS-3 of molecular weight 71.1 kDa, [α] 20D +224.4°. Physicochemical methods established that APS-3 was a partially methoxylated and acetylated rhamnopolygalacturonan consisting of α-(1→4)-bonded galacturonic acid and α-(1→2)-bonded rhamnopyranose in the main chain. Side substituents of single galacto- and glucopyranose units were located on the C-3 atom of galacturonic acid.
