%X Two major polysaccharides have been found in syrups obtained from various sources. They were separated by fractional precipitation with ethanol, and the homogeneity of the fractions was checked by moving-boundary electrophoresis. One of the polysaccharides was found in all samples examined and appeared to be a hemicellulose type. The other polysaccharide was a polyglucose of the dextran type, and its appearance was associated with large increases in the viscosity of the syrup. The possible origins of the polysaccharides are discussed.
