The carrageenan from Iridaea undulosa B.; Analysis, fractionation and alkaline treatment

The carrageenan extracted from the seaweed Iridaea undulosa is devoid of a k‐fraction and is composed of major amounts of ‘intermediate fractions’ (fractions which precipitate at potassium chloride concentrations higher than 0.125M) and lesser amounts of a ‘soluble fraction’ (soluble in 2.0M potassi...

Analysis of these fractions, their infrared spectra, and the results of the periodate oxidation analysis permitted the identification of some structural units and suggested others.
