Abstract
Nature of gum polysaccharide extracted from Moringa oleifera Lam.
(Sainjna) plant
Ashish Pal and R. B. Singh
Water soluble polysaccharide have been extracted from Moringa oleifera Lam. gum mucilage as L-arabinose and D-galactose in the molar ratio of 1:4 with traces of L-fucose. Hydrolysed gum polysaccharides were separated by paper chromatography and identified by column chromatography. It consumed 8.2 moles of iodine by iodometrically after 110 hrs. Nature of α and β-type linkages were confirmed by IR-Spectra (KBr). Sugars were identified by their specific rotations, melting points and preparation of their suitable crystalline derivatives.
