ABSTRACT:

Agathis australis degraded polysaccharide was methylated by Brown et al., and Purdie;s method which yielded degraded methyl sugars as: 2,4,6-tri-0-methyl-D-galactose, 2,3,4-tri-0-methyl-D-galactose, 2,4-di-0-methyl-D-galactose and 2,3,4-tri-0-methyl-D-glucuronic acid in the molar ratio of 1:6:2:3.
