Abstract
A β-D-glucan was isolated on fractionation of a 4% potassium hydroxide extract (hemicelluloses) of immature barley plants (Hordeum distichum L.). Most of the glucose residues in the extract were found to be derived from the glucan. Methylation analysis and enzyme degradation studies showed that the glucan had (1→3)- and (1 →4)-linked D-glucopyranosyl residues in an approximate molar ratio of 1.0:2.3. The molecular weight of the glucan was estimated to be 1.8 x 105 by gel filtration on Sepharose CL-6B.
