Abstract: Mesquite seed is a good gum source. In this work seed structure was characterized in order to help seed gum extraction. Seed gum was located between cotyledon and seed coat. Milling process yielded, basically, two fractions: endosperm and seed coat plus gum. This fact was supported by the cytochemical observation of a dense layer near the seed coat and a loose layer near the endosperm. Cells containing seed gum had thick cell walls and a proteic core. Seed gum extraction implications are discussed.
