The neutral polysaccharide component of linseed mucilage has been isolated and examined. On acidic hydrolysis it furnished mainly D-xylose and L-arabinose. Periodate oxidation experiments showed that the polysaccharide is of the branched chain type. Methylation experiments have confirmed this result and have given additional information on the structure of the polysaccharide.
