An improved procedure for the methylation analysis of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides is described. Steps in the procedure were examined and optimised for quantitative recovery and speed. Methylation was shown to be complete by using [14C]methyl iodide. All operations were performed in the same tube and the need to concentrate solutions containing acetylated alditols of methylated sugars was eliminated, thus minimising losses due to volatilization. The method is convenient, gives high recoveries of acetylated alditols of methylated sugars, and allows analysis of the glycosyl linkages of oligo- or poly-saccharides to be completed within a working day. A wide range of oligo- and poly-saccharides were methylated by this procedure.

A water-soluble polysaccharide, HM41, was obtained from Halenia elliptica D. Don by acidic ethanol fractionation and gel filtration. Its homogeneity was confirmed by chromatography using multiple systems. HM41 was composed of rhamnose (Rha), arabinose (Ara), xylose (Xyl), mannose (Man), galactose (Gal), glucose (Glc) with a molar ratio of 1.0:5.5:1.8:3.0:9.4:21. The average molecular weight of HM41 was approximately 1.17 × 104. Periodate oxidation, Smith degradation, methylation and GC, IR, NMR, XRD, GC-MS analysis were used for the structural analysis of HM41. Its main chain was composed mainly of β-(1 → 4)Gal, β-(1 → 4)Glc and β-(1 → 6)Glc. β-(1 → 4)Gal were substituted at 6-O and on average there were 14 branches among 23 main chain residues; (1 → 4)Glc had no branch; (1 → 6)Glc were substituted at 3-O and on average there were 9 branches among 14 main chain residues. The side chain was composed of (1 → 3,6)-Rha, (1 → 4)/(1 → 5)-Ara, (1 → 4)/(1 → 5)-Xyl, (1 → 4,6)-Man and (1 → 2)-Glc. The terminal residue was composed of Ara, Xyl, Man, Gal, and Glc. Then, we demonstrated that HM and HM41 had strong scavenging activities in vitro hydroxyl. Overall, HM and HM41 may have potential applications in the antioxidants for medical and food industry.
