Studies
There are many scientific studies about polyuronide in plants.{{Cite web|title=Polyuronides - an overview {{!}} ScienceDirect Topics|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/polyuronides|access-date=2021-03-15|website=www.sciencedirect.com}} However, the most studied is the presence of polyuronide in avocado and tomato.{{Cite journal|last1=Huber|first1=D.
