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).^[1]

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]
