Key points

  • Indistinguishable partially 3-O-methylated galactans were isolated from the edible basidiomycetes Pleurotus eryngii and Pleurotus ostreatoroseus
  • They were obtained via successive aqueous extraction, freeze-thawing, precipitation with Fehling solution of soluble material, and ultrafiltration
  • Mono- and bidimensional 13C and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HMBC, HETEROTOCSY, COSY, and HMQC), and methylation analysis were used to determine their structures
  • They were linear, partially 3-O-methylated, (1-->6)-linked alpha-d-galactans containing Gal and 3-Me-Gal, in a 3:1 molar ratio (GC-MS of alditol acetates)
