Abstract:

Carbohydrate esters of ferulic acid were released from cell walls of L. multiflorum by cellulase action as a mixture of at least 4 water-soluble compounds in which the carboxylic group of the acid was bound to the carbohydrate by ester bonds. The molecular weight of these esters varied from a few hundred to >50 000. Hydrolysis of 1 of the carbohydrate moieties showed that it contained xylose, arabinose and glucose units. The linkage of the carbohydrate esters of ferulic acid to other cell-wall constituents is discussed.
