%0 Journal Article %T Gum polysaccharide structure from Moringa oleifera Lam. plant gum by methylation technique %A Ashish Pal %A R. B. Singh %J - %D 2016 %X Gum polysaccharide has been extracted from Moringa oleifera Lam. plant gum (Moringaceae) with water as Larabinose and D-galactose in 1:4 molar ratio with traces of L-fructose. The purified gum polysaccharide was completely methylated by Hakomari and Purdie¡¯s method which afforded methyl sugars as : 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl- D-galactose; 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-galactose; 2,4-di-O-methyl-D-galactose and 2,2-di-O-methyl-L-arabinose were found in the molar ratio of 1:1:2:1 and also present uronic acid as : 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid (1 mole). %K Methylation %K methyl sugars %K gum polysaccharide structure %K Moringa oleifera %K list of open access journals %K open access %K open access journals %K open access publication %K open access publisher %K open access publishing %K open access journal articles %K imedpub %K imedpub publishing %K insight medical publishing %K imedpub online %U https://www.imedpub.com/articles/gum-polysaccharide-structure-from-imoringa-oleiferai-lam-plant-gum-by-methylation-technique.php?aid=11744
