Microbial polysaccharides can be liberated from their fatty amine adducts by treating these adducts in the presence of an alcohol with a salt of ammonia or of a highly volatile amine which is soluble in this alcohol or thermally readily dissociated. It is preferable to use alcohols which have a boil...
