Abstract

The physicochemical properties and qualitative and quantitative monosaccharide composition of Acantophyllum knorringianum pectin were determined. It has been found using periodate-nitric-acid oxidation and IR spectroscopy that galacturonan is a polymer consisting of α-1→-4-bonded D-galacturonic acid units. The isolated polysaccharide from roots had immunostimulating activity.
