Abstract
A rhamnoarabinogalactan isolated from the leaves of Plantago lanceolata L. var. libor has been investigated by methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structural conclusions obtained by 13C NMR measurements were consistent with the data from methylation analysis. The polysaccharide has a β-(1→6)-D-galactan core branched on O-3 by side chains of (1→5)-linked α-L-arabinofuranosyl units, some of which bear in position O-5 terminal β-D-galactopyranosyl residues. L-Rhamnose occurs as nonreducing ends.
