... The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effects of sunburn on pear fruit skin at the structural, biochemical, and molecular levels. Pears (Pyrus communis L.) cv. Beurré D'Anjou were collected at the official commercial harvest time and classified into three groups based on levels of sublethal sunburn: no sunburn (S0), mild sunburn (S1), and moderate sunburn (S2). Skin anatomy was characterize ...

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:
... Persimmon fruit is a typical respiratory climacteric fruit. Previous studies have found that water-soluble pectin (WSP) was closely related to fruit firmness, and calcium was involved in pectin bridging, which also affected fruit firmness. In this research, the effect of calcium treatment (2% CaCl₂, 30 min) on persimmon fruit firmness was studied from the perspective of WSP. Firmness of persimmon ...

Abstract:
... Citrus pectins were studied by enzymatic fingerprinting using a simultaneous enzyme treatment with endo-polygalacturonase (endo-PG) from Kluyveromyces fragilis and pectin lyase (PL) from Aspergillus niger to reveal the methyl-ester distribution patterns over the pectin backbone. Using HILIC-MS combined with HPAEC enabled the separation and identification of the diagnostic oligomers released. Struc ...

Abstract:
... Subcritical water is a “green” method of extraction and modification of pectin being explored in recent times. While the conventional acid extraction degrades the side chains and produces homogalacturonan (HG)-rich pectic polysaccharides, subcritical water extraction preserved the hairy region, namely the rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I) region of the pectin. However, higher temperatures (usually great ...

An effective statistical tool for increasing and boosting the production of xylanase and pectinase by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ADI2 during submerged fermentation (SmF) appears to be the response of surface methodology (RSM) using the central composite design (CCD). Optimum production was achieved under fermentation conditions of a temperature of 28 °C, pH of 8.38, inoculum size of 4% (w/v) and a ...

Abstract:
... Enzymatic scouring of cotton has established itself (slowly) as a green alternative to alkaline scouring in the textile industry, mostly due to more environmentally friendly processing at lower pH and temperatures and its less aggressive action on the cotton fibers. However, among other limitations, enzyme costs have contributed to impeding its wide acceptance and use. For the first time, in this ...
