Glucuronomannoxylan is a polysaccharide primarily derived from plant sources, particularly from the cell walls of certain species of trees and plants. It is a complex carbohydrate composed of a backbone of β-(1→4)-linked D-mannose and D-glucuronic acid units, which can be further substituted with various side chains. This structure contributes to its functional properties, including its ability to form gels and its role as a thickening agent in various applications. Glucuronomannoxylan is known for its potential health benefits, including prebiotic effects that can promote gut health by supporting beneficial microbiota. Additionally, it exhibits properties such as water retention and viscosity, making it useful in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations. Its biodegradability and biocompatibility also make it an attractive candidate for various industrial applications. Overall, glucuronomannoxylan is valued for its multifunctional characteristics, contributing to its diverse applications in both food science and material development.

<p>The polysaccharide, known as glucuronoxylomannan - produced by fruit bodies and in pure culture conditions - has been shown to consist of a mannan backbone that is glycosylated with xylan and glucuronic acid chains in a regular repeating structure. Laboratory tests have associated a number of biological activities with Cryptococcus neoformans glucuronoxylomannan, including immunostimulatory, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic, hepatoprotective, and antiallergic effects.<br>The image was kindly provided by Dr. Chris Lawson.</p>
