Abstract

The polysaccharides of the seeds of four species of agricultural lupin have been shown to comprise galactans, arabinogalactans, arabinans, rhamnogalacturonans, and galactoxyloglucans. Low molecular weight compounds were present in the mixtures after methylation of the acidic polysaccharides. Three tri- O-acetyl- O-methylhexuronic acids, with one hydroxyl group unsubstituted, formed during methylation, hydrolysis, and acetylation of the acidic polysaccharides, were present in high and variable proportions.
