Galactan - Wikipedia
网页Galactan (galactosan) is a polysaccharide consisting of polymerized galactose. [1] In general, galactans in natural sources contain a core of galactose units connected by α(1→3) or α(1→6), with structures containing other monosaccharides as side-chains.
Galactans and Its Applications - SpringerLink
网页2014年1月1日 · Galactan is a generic term to design a very large family of polysaccharides identified in terrestrial plants and other organisms but above all in red marine macroalgae. They are mainly represented by agars and carrageenans which have been largely investigated and used in industry for their unique rheological properties.
Galactan - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Galactans are polysaccharides that are found in primary cell walls and can be (1-4)-linked β-d-Galp. They are often attached to pectic polysaccharides and can undergo turnover during cell growth. Recent research suggests that galactans play a role in controlling the crystallization of cellulose in the cell wall.
