✦ Synopsis

Spondias L. is a small genus (ca. 3 species). These species are widespread in tropical regions of the world [1]. Structural studies of gums from S. pinnata and S. dulcis have been published [2][3][4]. S. cytherea, S. purpurea L., and S. mombin L. are disseminated in Venezuela [1]. Analytical data of the two last Spondias gums have been published recently [5]. This paper deals with the structural study of the polysaccharide isolated from the Spondias purpurea gum.
