The pectic polysacchatide rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II), which accounts for ~ 20% of the ethanol-precipitable polysacchatides in red wine, has been isolated from wine polysaccharides by anion-exchange chromatography. Four fractions enriched with RG-II were obtained and the RG-II then purified to hom

β¦ Synopsis
A complex polysaccharide originating from grape was purified from a red wine by size-exclusion and ion-exchange chromatography. This polysaccharide contained 2-O-methylfucose, rhamnose, fucose, 2-O-methylxylose, arabinose, apiose, galactose, galacturonic and glucuronic acids, and thiobarbituric acid assay-positive material, presumably 3-deoxy-o-manno-2-octulosonic acid (Kdo) and 3-deoxy+!yXO-2-heptulosaric acid (Dha). Methylation structural analysis showed that this polysaccharide is a typical rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II), a structurally complex pectic polysaccharide that has been isolated previously from the primary cell walls of sycamore. Red wine RG-II presented discrete differences from previously described RG-II's, a greater richness in uranic acids and some additional glycosyl linkages, which might be related to the pattern of degradation of grape-wall pectic substances by endogenous pectinolytic enzymes after pressing the berries and subsequent fermentation to wine.

The complex contained 0.12% B (w/w). The polysaccharide moiety contained 2-O-methylfucose, rhamnose, fucose, 2-O-methylxylose, arabin
Two minor phospholipid components were isolated from a lipid extract of pig lungs. One was identified as phosphatidylglycerol. The results of alkaline hydrolysis, periodate oxidation and acetolysis showed that the other was a structural isomer of phosphatidylglycerol with the structure of a lyso-bis
