Cocoa pod husk from Ghana was extracted successively with hot water, hot 0.5% ammonium oxalate, cold 10% potassium hydroxide, and hot 20% sodium hydroxide, and the various polysaccharide fractions isolated after dialysis. The hot-water-soluble fraction was examined by hydrolysis with 50% formic acid, quantitative determination of the component sugars, and characterisation of the sugars by preparation of crystalline derivatives. The major part of this fraction is a pectic material containing D-galacturonic acid, D-galactose, L-rhamnose and L-arabinose, but is contaminated with several other polysaccharides, notably a glucan and a mannan. The ammonium oxalate fraction is also a pectin but in a depolymerised form, while the main component sugar of the alkaline extracts is xylose. The insoluble husk residue is probably chiefly cellulose.
