Polysaccharides are very important in nature, occurring in food (starches in rice, wheat etc.) and plants (cellulose). Some polysaccharides are also produced commercially e.g. Dextrans, which are manufactured through the fermentation of sugar solutions. These are higher molar mass polysaccharides.
Dextrans are used in clinical and technical applications, where molecular weight is critical in determining the properties of the final product. Accurate determination of the molecular weight distribution is vital.
