From the results of Barry degradation studies, the 1→3 and 1→4 linked glucopyranose units present in the glucan have been proved to occur in blocks. Size and shape of the glucan have been determined from light-scattering measurements.

The pulp of guava, Psidium guajava L., contains an araban which can be enriched by extraction with 70% ethanol. Hydrolysis of the fully methylated pure araban, obtained during fractionation of the methylated polysaccharide, yielded 2,3,5-tri-, 2,3-di-, and 2-O-methyl-L-arabinofuranose in the molar ratio of 1 : 1.04 : 0.93, together with a small amount of arabinose. A structure has been suggested from these results which was corroborated by results from periodate oxidation studies. Sequence of branching has been confirmed from Barry degradation studies. Information about molecular size has been obtained from light scattering measurements.

AbstractWe report the observation of strongly anisotropic scattering of laser light at oblique incidence on (100)-oriented porous silicon layers. We performed angle-resolved light scattering measurements and three concentric rings were observed. Modeling porous silicon by means of nanometric columnar air pores and an effective anisotropic uniaxial dielectric constant explains the observed phenomenon, and besides, the observation of the angle aperture of these rings allows a direct measurement of relative birefringence. We finally study the changes of optical anisotropy after different modifications of the structure.
