  • Description: Polysaccharides are homo- or copolymers of sugar residues joined together. Practically all of the sugar residues are hexoses or pentoses of the aldose type; ketose residues occur rarely in polysaccharides. D-Glucose, D-galactose, and D-mannose dominate in the case of the aldohexoses, and L-arabinose, D-ribose, and D-xylose mainly occur among the aldopentoses. Glycosidic bonds occur between the sugar residues. The polysaccharide chains may be linear or have comb- or star-shaped branching. Polysaccharides mostly do not occur in the pure state in nature; they most often possess a stable and probably covalently bonded peptide component to the extent of a few percent. This peptide component is rich in hydroxyl group containing amino acids.
