For the lipid-free seeds, the total carbohydrate, protein and moisture were 75.4 % , 6.8 % and 14.8 % , respectively. The C. langsdorfii xyloglucan had an intrinsic viscosity of 804 mL/g, and the average molar mass (Mw) was 7.82 × 105 g/mol and Rg of 65 nm. The degree of polydispersion was 1.7, indicating the polydisperse family of polysaccharides. Its homogeneity, low degree of polymer contaminants and high intrinsic viscosity and molecular mass, represent good potential as a thickening agent. The presence of coumarin and xyloglucan as major components of C. langsdorfii seeds denotes its potential for use in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical industries.
