The limiting partial specific compressibility (LC) of low molecular weight dextran in aqueous solution was determined by the measurements of ultrasonic velocity and density. The negative value of LC was ascribed to hydration. The amount of bound water calculated from LC and its temperature dependence were in accord with those of sugars in order of magnitude.
