Although chemical techniques have provided a considerable amount of dais on the structure of galactomannans, it has required the use of highly purified enzymes to determine the distribution of the side chains. Studies using a-D-galactosidases have indicated that the galactomannans from Gleditsia ferox and locust bean have a different distribution of a-D-Ga p residues (Courtois and Le Dizet, 1966). 

Gleditsia gums. This would indicate significant differences in fine structure for these galactomannans.

Mixture of xanthan with a galactomannan from Gleditsia sinensis Lam, at different ratios, was investigated as sustained release materials. The synergistic interactions between xanthan and galactomannan were found to effectively retard drug diffusion [86].
