Abstract
A NUMBER of papers and communications have been published by different workers in recent years on the chromatographic study of jute α-cellulose, and conflicting views have been expressed regarding its association with different sugar residues. Sarkar et al. 1 consider the material to be entirely composed of glucosan, while Das and co-workers2 contend that it is intimately associated with both xylose and arabinose residues. Adams and Bishop3 believe that, in addition to these pentosans, jute α-cellulose contains uronic acid residue, the presence of which is yet to be confirmed by the chromatographic analysis.
