A study on the composition of garlic skins and the structural features of the isolated pectic acid

An investigation of the composition of garlic skins showed the presence of proteins, lipids, lignin, mannitol, pectin and polysaccharides. Garlic skins are rich in pectin (27%), combined rhamnose (11.42%) and galactose (5.6%). Periodate oxidation studies of pectic acid showed the absence of 1,3-linked residues and branch points and indicated a linear galacturonan of 1,4-linked D-galacturonic acid. Chromatographic analyses were carried out on the hydrolysis products of pectic acid, which had been oxidised by periodate plus bromine, and also on those obtained after reduction of the periodate-oxidised pectic acid.

Degradation characteristics of isolated and in situ cell wall lucerne pectic polysaccharides by mixed ruminal microbes

Two pectic polysaccharide fractions were isolated form lucerne (Medicago sativa L) leaves and used in fermentation experiments with mixed ruminal microbes. Both fractions were similar in chemical composition, containing galacturonic acid (52-58 mol%) and the neutral sugars arabinose (14-18 mol%), galactose (6-8 mol%) and rhamnose (8-12 mol%). Fermentation of both fractions was rapid and complete with a half-life of approximately 4 h. Production of total volatile fatty acids matched the degradation profile reaching a maximum level shortly after the rate of degradation began to decrease. The fermentation characteristics of citrus pectin and polygalacturonic acid were similar to those of the lucerne pectic fractions but galacturonic acid was much slower in its rate of degradation while soluble arabinogalactan from larchwood was virtually undegraded. Leaves of early bud stage lucerne and lower nodes and internodes of stems from full bloom lucerne were also fermented by mixed ruminal microbes. Pectic polysaccharides were rapidly and extensively degraded from both tissues. Initial rates were faster for leaves than for stems and the extent of pectic degradation was greater in leaves (8% residual) than in stems (17% residual). Selection of forage lines with increased pectic polysaccharides would provide greater amounts of rapidly available energy that could result in more efficient utilisation of the rapidly degraded protein in lucerne.     

Changes in amino acid contents,texture and microstructure of bamboo shoots during pickling process

The amino acid contents, texture, pectin and microstructure of bamboo shoots (Dendrocalamus latiflorus) with different salt concentrations during pickling process were examined to evaluate the effects of such process on its nutrient contents and texture. The results show that the total amino acid content of fresh bamboo shoots (FBS) was 16.35 g/100 g of dry weight, whereas those of pickled bamboo shoots (PBS) with different salt concentrations (8% and 20%) were 6.89 g/100 g and 7.91 g/100 g of dry weight, respectively. The texture analysis revealed that the hardness of the two PBS decreased by 60% and 47% after 90 days of pickling process, respectively. The protopectin contents of such PBS decreased by 64% and 49%, respectively, whereas their content of water‐soluble pectin exhibited an increasing tendency during the pickling process. In addition, the scanning electron microscope images of the bamboo shoots revealed that the FBS tissues presented almost isodiametric parenchyma cells with a regular shape, whereas the parenchyma cells of PBS showed a clear turgor loss, presenting degradation and shrinkage in the cell wall contours.

An explorative study on the cell wall polysaccharides in the pulp and peel of dragon fruits (Hylocereus spp.)

The pectic and hemicellulosic cell wall polysaccharides from the pulp and the peel of white-flesh and red-flesh dragon fruits (Hylocereus spp.) were isolated and compared in terms of degree of methoxylation (DM), solubility properties (relative content of uronic acids and neutral sugars in different fractions), neutral sugar composition, molar mass distribution, and affinity toward some specific anti-pectin antibodies. Hereto, the alcohol-insoluble residues were extracted and sequentially fractionated using hot water, a chelating agent, sodium carbonate, and potassium hydroxide solutions to obtain different pectin fractions and a hemicellulose fraction. Chemical analyses were used to characterize these polysaccharide fractions. The results show that cell wall polysaccharides of the pulp and especially of the peel from white-flesh and red-flesh dragon fruits contain significant amounts of pectic substances that are lowly methyl-esterified. The cell wall polysaccharides of the peel as well as those of the pulp contain high amounts (38–47 %) of loosely bound (water-soluble) pectic substances. In the water-soluble fraction (WSF) of the peel samples, uronic acids are the predominant monomers. On the contrary, rhamnogalacturonan-I type neutral sugars, and especially arabinose and galactose, contribute equally, as compared to uronic acid, to the WSF of the pulp samples. Despite the low average DM value of pulp and peel pectin, pectic substances in both samples showed affinity for antibodies with different specificities indicating that a wide range of epitopes, including long blocks of unesterified galacturonic acids (GalA) residues as well as (short) blocks of esterified GalA residues, is present. No large differences between the pectic substances among the different dragon fruit varieties were observed.     

Extraction of pectic polysaccharides from sugar‐beet cell walls

Previous methods of extracting pectin from sugar‐beet have used pulp as the starting material. As the temperature and pressure of the pulping process may modify the architecture of the cell wall, we have adapted a relatively non‐disruptive method to characterise cell wall material (CWM) isolated directly from the sugar‐beet. Cell walls from mature sugar‐beets (Beta vulgaris L Aztec) were sequentially extracted four times with imidazole and twice with sodium carbonate to produce six heterogeneous pectic polysaccharide extracts, and with KOH to produce a hemicellulosic extract which was predominantly xylans. Heterogeneity of the extracted pectins was indicated by differences in FTIR spectra, uronic acid content, % methyl esterification, % feruloylation, % acetylation, molecular weight distribution and neutral sugar composition. The highest proportion of feruloyl esters was found in polysaccharides solubilised by the second sodium carbonate extraction. Anion exchange chromatography of these polysaccharides gave three fractions, one of which contained most of the feruloyl ester. These results indicate that feruloyl esters are not randomly distributed among the different pectic polysaccharides in the sugar‐beet cell wall, and that esterification is likely to be dependent on the local sugar sequence or conformation. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

The isolation and analysis of cell wall material from the alcohol-insoluble residue of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata)

Cell wall material (CWM) was isolated from the wet ball-milled alcohol-insoluble residue of cabbage by treatment with Pronase, phenol-acetic acid-water and 90% aqueous dimethyl sulphoxide to remove precipitated proteins, starch and other intracellular compounds. Some solubilisation (mainly of pectic material) occurred during the purification stages. Methylation analysis of the cold water-soluble polysaccharides showed that the main neutral glycosidic linkages in descending order of concentration, were: non-reducing terminal arabinose groups, 5-linked arabinose and 4-linked galactose. The CWM contained a high level of arabinose-containing pectic polysaccharides. The main linkages present in the non-cellulosic polysaccharides were 4-linked galacturonic acid, non-reducing terminal arabinose groups and 5-linked arabinose; doubly branched arabinose residues were also present. Sequential extraction of the CWM by aqueous inorganic solvents yielded further information on the types of polysaccharides present. The general structural features of the CWM are discussed in the light of these results.

Lipid Content and Fatty Acid Composition in Bamboo Shoots

Lipids from bamboo shoots (Phyllostachys pubescens), peeled and divided from top to base, were extracted and fractionated into three classes, and each class separated into constituent components by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Fatty acid composition and amount of separated lipids were determined. Total lipids (TL) ranged from 800 (top) to 380 mg (base) per 100g fresh weight and the ratio of nonpolar lipids (NPL):glycolipids (GL):phospholipids (PL) was about 17:27:56. The main fatty acids of the three lipid classes were palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids, but composition was remarkably different among these fractions. The fatty acid composition of triglycerides (TG) was similar to the original NPL. Palmitic acid was almost all located in 1-, 3-position, linoleic acid mainly located in 2-position of TG, while linolenic acid was distributed in each position. Digalactosyl diglyceride (DGDG) and monogalactosyl diglyceride (MGDG) were the main components of GL; the average of the former had about 37% linoleic and 29% linolenic acids, while the latter had about 25% linoleic and 62% linolenic acids. Bamboo shoots contained 9 PL fractions, the major being phosphatidyl choline (PC) and phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE). PC contained about 48% linoleic, 31% palmitic and 11% linolenic acids, and PE also had the similar tendency as PC.     

Pectin recovery from apple pomace: physico-chemical and functional variation based on methyl-esterification

This study explored the valorisation of apple pomace by extracting pectin with both high and low degrees of esterification (DM). Two types of pectin were extracted with a DM of 43.29% being low methoxyl (LM) pectic polysaccharide and high methoxyl (HM) pectin with a DM of 65.88%. HM pectin was characterised by a WHC and OHC of 1.3 g g⁻¹ and 0.4 g g⁻¹, respectively, compared to 0.32 g g⁻¹ and 0.14 g g⁻¹, respectively, for LM pectic polysaccharide. HM pectin possessed greater purity indicated by 69.18% GalA, whereas LM pectic polysaccharide possessed 41.26% GalA. HM pectin revealed better functionality in terms of high emulsifying activity which was concentration-dependent, and emulsion stability than LM pectic polysaccharide. The solubility of HM pectin was 90.8%, which is preferable for various industrial applications. LM pectic polysaccharide was characterised by a higher % radical-scavenging activity in a concentration-dependent manner. XRD analysis revealed LM pectic polysaccharide to possess higher crystallinity (53%) and SEM analysis revealed its surface to be rough and coarse.

Pectin isolated from white cabbage--structure and complement-fixing activity

This study was done to investigate whether white cabbage contained polysaccharides with immunostimulatory activity using the complement-fixing test as an indicator. The main polysaccharide isolated was of pectin nature. Methanolysis and (13)C-NMR showed that the polymers consisted of highly esterified alpha-galactopyranoside (alpha-GalpA), significant amounts of alpha-arabinose furanoside (alpha-Araf), beta-Galp and lesser amounts of rhamnose in the pyranose form (Rhap) and xylose in the pyranose form (Xylp). Linkage analyses showed that the alpha-GalpA residues were mainly 1,4-linked with small amounts of 1,3,4-linkages. The alpha-Araf residues were mainly terminally (t)- and 1,5-linked, whereas beta-Galp was t-, 1,3-, 1,6-, and 1,3,6-linked. Positive Yariv reaction indicated polymers with arabinogalactan type 2 like structures. alpha-Rhap was mainly present as 1,2- and 1,2,4-linked residues and Xylp was t- and 1,4-linked. The molecular weight varied greatly and was from 10 to 150 kDa. Cabbage polymers had biological activity and this complement-fixing activity was greatly affected by hydrolytic removal of Araf from pectic side chains.

Developmental and ripening-related effects on the cell wall of apricot (Prunus armeniaca) fruit

Alcohol-insoluble residues (AIRs) were prepared from apricots at six stages during development/ripening on the tree. To investigate the changes in cell wall polymers, and in particular those affecting pectic polysaccharides, the AIR preparations were sequentially extracted with water, cyclohexane-trans-1,2-diamine-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetate (CDTA) and Na₂CO₃. A significant proportion of initially Na₂CO₃-soluble pectic polysaccharides became water- and CDTA-soluble during the ripening process. In terms of composition, a significant decrease in galactose and uronic acid content was detected in all the extractions, whereas the percentage of arabinose increased in both water and CDTA-soluble polymers but decreased in the Na₂CO₃-extracted polysaccharides. The ability of pectic polysaccharides to cross-link was diminished during ripening due to an overall increase in the concentration of Na⁺ or K⁺ associated with the AIRs. This was accompanied by a decrease in the amounts of Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺. The decrease in pectic galactans and the inhibition of pectin cross-linking detected within the pectic backbone are probably linked to the softening process observed during apricot ripening. © 1998 SCI.     

Extraction and characterization of pectic polysaccharides from easy- and hard-to-cook common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)

The occurrence of the hard-to-cook (HTC) defect in legumes is characterized by the inability of cotyledons to soften during the cooking process. This phenomenon may be influenced by pectin properties. The objective of this study was to characterize the pectic polysaccharides comprised in the alcohol insoluble residue (AIR) extracted from easy-to-cook (Rose coco) and hard-to-cook (Pinto) common beans. This would provide an insight in the relationship between the pectin properties and HTC defect. The AIR was extracted from raw, half-cooked hard, half-cooked soft and fully-cooked bean samples. Subsequently, it was fractionated into water-, chelator- and Na₂CO₃-soluble pectin fractions and a hemicellulose fraction. For the AIR and the pectin fractions, determination of the galacturonic acid content, neutral sugars, degree of methylesterfication (DM), degree of acetylation (DAc) and molar mass (MM) distribution was performed. Results on the pectin fractions, MM distribution and pectin content profile, revealed that Rose coco pectin generally showed higher pectin solubility than Pinto. Neutral sugar profiles indicated that Pinto contained higher amounts of branched pectin (i.e. arabinans) than Rose coco. There was no difference between the DM of Pinto and Rose coco, however, the DAc was higher in Rose coco. In conclusion, the differences in pectin structure and solubility properties between easy- and hard-to-cook common beans might contribute to the differences in their cooking behavior.     

Texture and distribution of pectic substances of mango as affected by infusion of pectinmethylesterase and calcium

Fresh cut mangos were infused with pectinesterase (PME) and calcium chloride, and the effect on textural properties, distribution of pectic substance and degree of esterification was determined. Temperature gradient infusion with PME and/or calcium chloride increased gumminess and chewiness, but had no impact on hardness and adhesiveness. The distribution of pectic substances, as protopectin or alkaline soluble pectin, was approximately twice that of water‐ or chelator‐soluble pectin. The degree of esterification of water‐ and chelator‐soluble pectic substances was near 50–60%, and less than 10%, respectively. Heat‐sensitive PME inhibitor in mango was detected. The initial hardness of Kent mango was variable, and differences in distribution of pectic substances were observed. Texture of Kent mango is most likely moderated by changes in the solubility of insoluble pectin or by non‐pectin components in the cell wall. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

CELL WALL COMPOSITIONS AND ENZYMES OF POTATOES, JICAMAS AND CHINESE WATER CHESTNUTS

Cell wall compositions and the levels of ten enzymes of potatoes, jicamas and Chinese water chestnuts were determined to explain the differences in thermal softening of these vegetables. Cell walls were prepared from the tissues by sieving of ethanolic homogenates to remove most of the starch and analyzed for neutral sugars and uronic acids. Jicamas and water chestnuts contain less galactose but more arabinose and glucuronic acid and much more xylose than potatoes. Water chestnuts contain less galacturonic acid than jicamas and potatoes and this was confirmed by extraction of pectin under various conditions. The results suggest that resistance to thermal softening may be related to cell wall polysaccharides rich in arabinose, glucuronic acid and xylose rather than to pectic polysaccharides. The major differences in enzyme compositions are much higher β-amylase and exopolygalacturonase in jicamas and water chestnuts than in potatoes. Water chestnut exopolygalacturonase is unusually heat-stable, but the relationship of this enzyme or of β-amylase to thermal softening is not clear.     

Ripening‐related changes in the cell walls of olive (Olea europaea L.) pulp of two consecutive harvests

Olive fruits, harvested in two consecutive seasons at green, cherry and black stages, were used to study compositional changes in the cell walls during ripening. Ripening‐related changes in both harvests were characterised mainly by an increase in the solubilisation of pectic and hemicellulosic polysaccharides, an increase in the relative amount of arabinose in pectic polysaccharides and a decrease in the degree of methylesterification of pectic polysaccharides. Further to degrading processes, the data obtained suggest the synthesis of new polysaccharides. The analysis of olive cell wall phenolics showed mainly the presence of p‐coumaric acid, which increased in one harvest, whereas in the other the values did not differ. The samples of the second harvest, although presenting green, cherry and black colours, had less distinct ripening characteristics than those of the previous harvest. Different activity levels of polyphenol oxidase, polygalacturonase and pectin methylesterase might have contributed to the differences observed between the two harvests. The results showed the distinct extension of ripening‐related changes in the cell walls of the two harvests, indicating that the olive colour, although characteristic of the stage of ripening, cannot be strictly used for its evaluation and definition.
