Abstract: Starch, arabinans and eventually glucoarabinans are the main constituents of horse chestnut seeds. Episperm contains xylans and eventually glucoxylans. D-Glucose, L-arabinose, D-glucuronic acid, D-xylose, D-galactose, and fucose were found in the hydrolyzed seeds. A simple procedure for isolation of L-arabinose and D-glucuronic acid is described.
