Pachyman is not soluble in water even at 80˚C.  However, CM-Pachyman (carboxymethylated pachyman) is soluble and is a good substrate for endo-1,3-beta-glu...

Pachyman can be solubilised in 5% sodium hydroxide.  On neutralisation with acetic acid, the polymer will come out of solution again.  This is the reason...

Both molecules are essentially 1,3-linked though Pachyman may have a small amount of 1,6-linked glucose. Pachyman has a lower molecular weight than Curd...
