Polyuronide Explained

Polyuronide is a polymeric substance which consists of uronic acid units that have glycosidic linkages which are commonly combined with monosaccharides.[1]

Sources

Polyuronide widely occurs in soil and plants (such as gums and pectic substances).

Studies

There are many scientific studies about polyuronide in plants.[2] However, the most studied is the presence of polyuronide in avocado and tomato.[3] There is also a study about its occurrence in barrel cactus.[4]
