Allium carbohydrates. XV. Polysaccharides from Allium motor

The content of carbohydrates in Allium motor was studied as a function of vegetation period. The qualitative and quantitative compositions and physical chemical properties of sugars soluble in alcohol, water-soluble polysaccharides, pectinic substances, and hemicellulose were characterized. Galacturonan was produced by partial hydrolysis of the pectinic substances.
