Soy hull soluble fractions (HSF) were obtained by acid or alkaline/acid extraction. By chemical characterization and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy we demonstrated that galactomannanproteins and arabinogalactanproteins ...

Obtaining polysaccharides from grape cell walls is an interesting topic for the wine industry given its implications with regards to wine treatments and potential sensory attributes. In the present work, several conditions ...

Pectin is a soluble dietary fiber that in addition to its role in the food industry as a thickener and emulsifier, provides metabolic effects related to weight control, lipids and glucose levels. It is found in significant ...

Boysenberry fruit was harvested at five developmental stages, from green to purple, and changes in pectin and hemicellulose solubilisation and depolymerisation, polymer neutral sugar contents, and the activities of cell ...
