As plant tissues senesce and die, three processes may ensue almost simultaneously. First, enzymes within the dead but sterile and physically intact cells cause proteolysis and other autolytic degradations. The released amino acids, sugars, tannins, phenols, and quinones may be oxidized by chemical or enzymatic catalysis to produce humus-like pigments, or proto-humus as discussed by Stevenson in Chapter 2. This was well illustrated by Cohen (Given and Dickinson, 1975) who observed cellular material of partially polymerized eaco-anthocyanins in residues of Rhizophora mangle deposited in a mangrove swamp in Florida. The autolytic reactions may be prominent in situations where microbial decomposition is slow due to acidity, anaerobiosis, or lack of basic nutrients.

Hualtaco gum appears to be derived from Loxopterygium huasango (5). D-Galacturonic acid has been identified in ketha gum (d), as surmised in (7). A tentative, highly branched structure recently proposed for mangle gum (from Rhizophora mangle L.) (7) accords well with most of the deductions made from the quantitative data on the cross-reactions of the gum in anti-Pn I, II, VI, XIV, and XXIII (8).
