Water-soluble polysaccharides (WSPS), pectinic substances, and hemicelluloses were isolated from the aerial part of Ferula tenuisecta. Their physicochemical parameters were characterized. The monosaccharide composition was established. Fractionation of the WSPS produced the arabinogalactan AG-Ften. Periodate oxidation and methylation established that the polysaccharide was an arabino-3,6-galactan.
