Mixtures of ethylene and oxygen dissolved in water under pressures ranging from 200 to 700 Ib./sq. in. were irradiated with Corn gamma rays at a dose rate of 180,000 r./hr. C values (molecules/100 ev.) for aldehyde production as high as 200 were observed. Increasing total pressure and dose were foun

✦ Synopsis
The effect of gamma radiation on a water-insoluble L-arabino-D-xylan has been studied by functional group and structural analysis using chemical methods and IR spectroscopy, by sugar composition analysis, and by viscosity measurements. The gamma irradiation has been shown to modify both sugar components of the arabinoxylan, accompanied by cleavage of the glycosidic linkages, depolymerization, and sugar decomposition, depending on the applied radiation dose, thus increasing the molecular and chemical heterogeneity of the polysaccharide.
EXPERIMENTAL
Materials. The starting arabinoxylan was isolated from rye bran holocellulose by an alkaline fractional extraction procedure' and used in the freeze-dried form. The polysaccharide with the intrinsic viscosity [v] = 197 cm3 g-', contained in dry matter D-xylose (69.4%), L-arabinose (20.2%), D-glucose (6.8%), D-galactose (1.6%), and D-glucuronic acid ( < 1%).
