Abstract
Solubility differences were used to separate the pentosans of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum [L.] Leake) into four fractions. Ribose was found in only one fraction---that extracted by 80% ethanol. The other three fractions, which were separated by extraction with water at 25 C, with water at 50 C, and with 0.5M alkali, contained various amounts of seven sugars: rhamnose, fucose, arabinose, xylose, mannose, galactose, and glucose. The relative amounts of sugars varied considerably among fractions, and also differed considerably from those previously reported for grain sorghum
