Galactans: an overview of their most important sourcing and applications as natural polysaccharides
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011 Since last decades, lot of biological and rheological properties of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides were described. Among them, galactans and more especially sulfated galactans from seaweeds have shown interesting and specific properties not only as

Detailed Structural Characterization of Arabinans and Galactans of 14 Apple Cultivars Before and After Cold Storage [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Physiological and textural properties of apples are greatly influenced by both cultivar and structural composition of their pectic polysaccharides. In previous studies, it was demonstrated that neutral pectic side chains (arabinans and galactans) play a ...
