AbstractThe preparation of Tamarindus‐amyloid from seeds of Tamarindus indica L. is described in detail.The product was homogeneous under conditions of free boundary electrophoresis and of sedimentation in the ultracentrifuge. A tentative value for a molecular weight of 115,000 was found.Partial hydrolysis of the polysaccharide with Myrotheciwn‐cellulase liberated a hepta‐, an octa‐ and a nona‐saccharide, while a fungal enzyme “Luizym” yielded 6‐O‐α‐D‐xylopyranosyl‐D‐glucopyranose.Partial hydrolysis with dilute mineral acid gave the disaccharide 2‐O‐β‐D‐galactopyranosyl‐D‐xylopyranose.Experimental evidence is presented for the following structural features: A main chain of β 1,4‐linked glucose residues. A xylose residue attached by an α 1,6‐linkage to three glucose residues out of every four. The three substituted glucose residues and the unsubstituted one alternate regularly. The galactose residues are attached to the xylose residues by β 1,2‐linkages. On the basis of this evidence a structure for Tamarindus‐amyloid is proposed.
