Abstract
Highly methylated agars were isolated from the red seaweed, Gracilaria eucheumoides, harvested in Japan. One of the obtained agars formed a thermo-reversible gel with a high melting point up to 121 degrees and was indicated to consist of a regularly repeating structure, --> 3 6-O -methyl-beta-D-Gal 1 --> 4) 3,6-anhydro-2-0-methyl-alpha-L-Gal 1 -->.
