Nanostructural differences in pectic polymers isolated from strawberry fruits with low expression levels of pectate lyase or polygalacturonase genes [PDF]

, 2013
Our research group has obtained transgenic strawberry plants expressing antisense sequences of either a pectate lyase (APEL lines) [1] or a polygalacturonase gene (APG lines) [2].

Preparation of Pectin Aerogels From Flaxseed and Evaluation of Their Potential as Hemostatic Agents: Water Absorption Characteristics

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flaxseed has been used extensively to extract flaxseed oil and drugs used for breast cancer treatment. Flaxseed contains a considerable amount of pectin in addition. We extracted pectin from flaxseed and prepared pectin aerogels by the steps of de‐esterification, gelation, solvent exchange and supercritical CO2 drying.

13C CP/MAS NMR spectra of pectins: a peak-fitting analysis in the C-6 region

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2003
13C CP/MAS NMR spectra of pectin samples were measured and interpreted. The influence of methylesterification and O-acetylation on chemical shifts of pectin carbons was studied using model pectate, pectinates, and their acetylated derivatives.

AFM study of strawberry pectin nanostructure and its relevance on fruit texture [PDF]

, 2018
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to characterize the nanostructure of cell wall pectins during strawberry fruit growth and ripening, as well as in transgenic fruits with pectinase genes downregulated.

Pectic enzymes as potential enhancers of ascorbic acid production through the D-galacturonate pathway in Solanaceae [PDF]

, 2018
The increase of L-Ascorbic Acid (AsA) content in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a common goal in breeding programs due to its beneficial effect on human health.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Impact of extraction methods on the physicochemical and structural characteristics of pomelo peel pectin

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Four methods (acid extraction (HAE), acid–ultrasound extraction (US–HAE), alkaline extraction (BE), and alkaline–ultrasound extraction (US–BE)) were used to prepare pomelo peel pectins.

Evaluation of a Product Intended for Microbiological Control in Animal Production, and Its Combination With Halquinol

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Activo Liquid and Halquinol inhibit Salmonella and Escherichia coli in culture media. Activo Liquid exhibits bactericidal action, whereas HA is bacteriostatic, and their combination results in positive or indifferent interactions. This combination effectively inhibits E. coli throughout digestion simulation, thus reducing the required concentrations of

Bacterial Pigments as Potential Antitumor Agents Against Gastrointestinal Cancers: A Comprehensive Systematic Review

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal cancers (GICs) constitute one of the leading causes of cancer‐related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite currently available therapeutic strategies, new approaches and procedures are needed for their prevention and treatment.

To love and to drought: a cohesive relationship between desiccation-tolerant Cecidomyiidae galls and the poikilohydric Pleopeltis minima (Polypodiaceae) [PDF]

Acta Botânica Brasílica
The structure and function of fern galls are poorly studied, especially those occurring in poikilohydric ferns such as Pleopeltis minima (Polypodiaceae), which hosts globoid Cecidomyiidae galls on fronds.
