Studies on Mannan in Wood Pulp

Part II. 4-O-β-D-Glucosyl-α-D-Mannose Obtained from Dissoloving Pulp

Abstract

Octaacetyl 4-O-β-D-glucosyl-α-D-mannose was isolated by application of “Magnesol” chromatography from the acetolyzate of commercial dissolving pulp. This fact indicates the existence of the chemical linkages of mannose units to glucose residues in purified cellulose materials manufactured from softwood.
