Its major amino sugar component was glucosamine, with only minor amounts of galactosamine.

The preparation could be further fractionated with the aid of cetyl pyridinium chloride, and by chromatography on columns of Ecteolal-cellulose and DEAE-Sephadex. From these studies it was concluded that the major component of the mucopolysaccharide preparation was a heparin-like substance, and that hyaluronic acid was present as a minor component.
