The galactomannan system from the endosperm of the seed of Gleditsia triacanthos

The galactomannan system from the endosperm of the seed of Gleditsia triacanthos is composed of four water-soluble galactomannans having a narrow range of distribution of sugar compositions. Nevertheless, molecular-weight and possible chain-distribution heterodispersion were observed. All of the gal...
