Virgilia oroboides gum contains a complex array of peripheral units, and controlled, partial hydrolysis with acid affords the disaccharides 5-O-a-L-arabinopyranosyl-L-arabinofuranose (29), 5-O-a-L-arabino-furanosyl-L-arabinofuranose (57), and 5-0-/3-D-xylopyranosyl-L-ara-binofuranose (35), together with traces of oligosaccharides to which the structures 3-O-a-L-arabinofuranosyl-L-arabinose (25) and O-a-L-arabinopyranosyl-(l - 5)-0-L-arabinofuranosyl-(l - 5)-L-arabino-furanose (58) have been assigned.
