Soybean soluble polysaccharides (SSPS) extracted from soybean cotyledons have a pectin-like structure. The core polysaccharides after treatments with four kinds of hemicellulases and a pectinase contained approximately equal numbers of L-rhamnose and D-galacturonate residues, suggesting the presence of the rhamnogalacturonan (RG) I structure consisting of the diglycosyl repeating unit, -4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-(1-. The lengths of RG chains were calculated as approximately 15, 28, and 100 diglycosyl repeats. The RG components linked to each other by intervention of galacturonan (GN) chains, constituting the backbone of SSPS. All arabinose residues, which constitute 21% of total SSPS sugars, were found to be in side chains from RG regions, and this was also true for galactose residues, which constitute 50% of total sugars. Of arabinose residues, 94% are present as α-1,3- or α-1,5-arabinans, and 89% of galactose residues were present as β-1,4-galactans. Galactan chains are modified with arabinose, xylose, fucose, and glucose at the sites close to the RG regions.
