Abstract: | The alkali-soluble polysaccharides have been surveyed in the seeds of 7 species of the Liliaceae and 2 species of the Iridaceae. All appear to contain galactoglucomannans and/or glucomannans. The structure of the water-soluble galactoglucomannan from the endosperm of Asparagus officinalis has been studied in detail. It contains residues of glucose, mannose and galactose in the ratio 43:49:7. Hydrolysis of the fully methylated polysaccharide released 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-hexoses (mannose and glucose), 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-galactose, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-d-mannose, 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-d-glucose, 2,3-di-O-methyl-d-mannose and 2,3-di-O-methyl-d-glucose in the molar proportions of 1:4.5:50:41:2:1·5. The following oligosaccharides were identified on partial hydrolysis of the galactoglucomannan: mannobiose, mannotriose, mannotetraose, cellobiose, glucopyranosylmannose, mannopyranosylglucose and a trisaccharide composed of two mannosyl residues and one glucosyl residue. The galactoglucomannan consists of a linear chain of β(1 → 4)-Iinked d-mannosyl and d-glucosyl residues, to which are attached single-unit galactosyl side chains. The galactose residues are linked 1 → 6, probably α. The terminal, non-reducing residues of the main chain may be either glucosyl or mannosyl units but the former predominate. |
