Abstract:
... Seasonal changes in pectin content and chemical composition were studied in three anatomical layers of 'Rio Red' grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf), a currently popular cultivar in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, USA. Fruits were harvested at intervals between August 1998 and May 1999. Pectin content in flavedo decreased throughout the season, while in albedo and segment membrane the pectin content ...

chemical composition; interspecific variation; pectins; receptors; mandarins; oranges; heparin; fibroblasts; uronic acids; growth factors; grapefruits; lemons
Abstract:
... This study was undertaken to characterize the pectin from four citrus species and to determine their in vitro inhibitory activities on the binding of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) to the FGF receptor (FGFR). Pectin from various parts of lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, and orange were isolated and characterized. Tangerine had the highest pectin content among the four citrus species. Segment membrane ...
