DoLPHiN: A structural and functional database of natural polysaccharides with health benefits

Title Value
Polysaccharide AP
Source Name Aloe vera
Weight 55 KDa
Main Glycosidic Bond(s)
β-Manp-(1→4)
β-Glcp-(1→4)
Main Chain The major polysaccharide in A. vera is glucomannan, which has a linear backbone composed of 1, 4-linked β-D-mannose randomly inserted by a small amount of 1, 4-linked β-D-glucose.
Side Chain Branches that are composed of mannosyl, glucosyl, or galacosyl moieties attached to the main glucomannan chain were reported. The mannose moieties are highly acetylated and referred to as acetylated glucomannan or acemannan in literature.
