Abstract

OBJECTIVE To characterize the chemical structure of a homogenous polysaccharide SDC obtained from Mulberry leaves. METHODS Sugar component analysis,methylation analysis,partial acid hydrolysis,IR,1H-NMR,13C-NMR were applied to determine the structural features. RESULTS The molecular weight of SDC was 8.0×103 dalton by HPGFC. SDC consisted of rhammose (Rha),arabinose (Ara),xylose (Xyl),galactose (Gal) and galacturonic acid units (GalA) in the molar ratio of 1.0∶1.6∶ 1.2∶2.0∶41.7. Part of galacturonic acid existed of methyl ester. SDC possessed an α-(1→4)-galacturonan backbone. The neutral side chains were attached to the O-3 ,O-2 of GalA residues including terminal,1,5-linked,1,3,5-linked Ara,terminal Xyl and terminal,1,6-linked Gal. CONCLUSION SDC was a new pectic polysaccharide for the first time obtained from Muberry leaves.
