Abstract:
... In this work, pectin extracts from watermelon rind (WRP) were enzymatically treated to evaluate their potential for preparing hydrogels with the addition of CaCl₂. Based on a previous work, two different conditions were selected to obtain WRP extracts according to the 1) highest yield (OP) or 2) highest yield without negatively affecting the branching and native structure of pectin (OPA). Firstly, ...
... Influences of conventional thermal and innovative non-thermal extraction methods on the physicochemical characteristics and properties of pectic polysaccharides from Choerospondias axillaris peels were investigated. Results showed that ultrasound-assisted extracted polysaccharides (UP) had a heterogeneous nature with lower molecular weight (127.7 kDa) and lower neutral sugar content (35.1%) but hi ...

Abstract:
... Water-soluble polysaccharides (WSP) were extracted from the pulp of litchi. Its main component was identified as arabinogalactan. The dominant monosaccharide constituents were arabinose and galactose. Galactose and mannose accumulated at the end of storage. ATP, ADP and AMP levels declined with increasing pulp breakdown index. WSP depolymerized which was characterized by a decrease in its content ...

Abstract:
... α‐l‐Arabinofuranosidases (ABFs) are important enzymes in plant biomass degradation with a wide range of applications. The ascomycete fungus Penicillium subrubescens has more α‐l‐arabinofuranosidase‐encoding genes in its genome compared to other Penicillia. We characterized nine ABFs from glycoside hydrolase (GH) families GH51, GH54 and GH62 from this fungus and demonstrated that they have highly d ...

Abstract:
... l-Arabinose 1-dehydrogenase (AraDH) catalyzes the NAD(P)⁺-dependent oxidation of l-arabinose to L-arabinono-1,4-lactone in the non-phosphorylative l-arabinose pathway, and is classified into glucose-fructose oxidoreductase and short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR). We herein report the crystal structure of a SDR-type AraDH (from Herbaspirillum huttiense) for the first time. The interactions be ...

Abstract:
... Heteroxylans (HX) from vitreous and floury parts of maize endosperm were isolated. Structural analysis showed a xylan backbone with few unsubstituted xylose residues (<9%) demonstrating the high content in side chains in both fractions. HX from floury endosperm contained more arabinose and galactose than vitreous HX. The mono-substitution rate was 15% higher in the vitreous endosperm HX. Similar a ...

Abstract:
... Bacillus thuringiensis is an agriculturally and medically important bacteria as it produces insecticidal Cry proteins and can form biofilm on different plant surfaces. Previous studies reported that the ubiquitous carbon source glucose could induce restricted motility and fractal pattern formation in the growing colonies of pH, salt and arsenate tolerant Bacillus thuringiensis KPWP1. As bacteria a ...

Abstract:
... Arabinoxylans are important for dough and breadmaking properties. It is not clear how arabinoxylans of different molecular weights behave during the breadmaking process as well as the changes in individual structures. We investigated changes in the molecular weight and structure of water-extractable arabinoxylans. It was revealed that molecules larger than high molecular weight arabinoxylans were ...

Abstract:
... Arabinan in plant cell wall constitutes a major source of arabinose and arabino-oligosaccharides in nature. Exo-α-l-1,5-arabinanases release arabinose or arabino-oligosaccharides from arabinan in an exo-acting manner and therefore contribute to arabinan degradation. In this study, an exo-α-l-1,5-arabinanase belonging to GH93 family was identified from the thermophilic filamentous fungus Rasamsonia ...

Abstract:
... The selectivity of alkali treatment (AT) for hemicellulose separation is reduced due to the alkali solubility of lignin. It was improved using freeze–thaw-assisted alkaline treatment (FT/AT). In this study, bamboo hemicellulose was separated via a one-step freeze–thaw-assisted alkali treatment (OFT/AT). The effects of freezing temperature, freezing time, alkali concentration, and treatment time on ...

Abstract:
... L-ribulose, a kind of high-value rare sugar, could be utilized to manufacture L-form sugars and antiviral drugs, generally produced from L-arabinose as a substrate. However, the production of L-ribulose from L-arabinose is limited by the equilibrium ratio of the catalytic reaction, hence, it is necessary to explore a new biological enzymatic method to produce L-ribulose. Ribose-5-phosphate isomera ...
