Methylation analysis of carrageenans from the seaweed Iridaea undulosa

Two carrageenans from Iridaea undulosa, isolated by precipitation of the crude polysaccharide at O.70-1.05 M and 1.55-1.65 M KCl concentrations, were studied by methylation analysis. Acid hydrolysis of the methylated derivative of the less soluble carrageenan (molar ratio galactose: 3,6-anhydrogalac...

Minor quantities of 3-O-methylgalactose (4.6%) and 6-O-methylgalactose (3.2%) were found together with traces of 2,3,6- and/or 2,4,6-tri-O-methylgalactose, 2-O-methylgalactose and galactose.
