Abstract: In addition to 4 kinds of polysaccharides AGP (Arabinogalactan-protein: Cp-1-C, Cp-1-D, Cp-2-B and Hp-2-C) already reported, another water-soluble araban (Hp-0-A, Mw=23,000) was isolated from the fruit of Lycium chinense Mill. The result of glycosyl residues analysis indicated that it had a backbone of (1→5)-L-araban, and some of the L-arabinofuranosyl residues were involved in the branches through O-3. There was good conformity between the results obtained by chemical and NMR spectroscopic methods.
