摘要: To emphasize that differences in pectin structure among cultivars play a crucial role in the texture and quality of fruits and vegetables, the sugar content and methyl-esterification of pectin fractions from 13 apple cultivars was studied. Cell wall polysaccharides were isolated as alcohol-insoluble solids (AIS) and subsequently extracted to yield water-soluble solids (WSS) and chelating-soluble solids (ChSS). All fractions contained significant amounts of galacturonic acid, while sugar compositions varied between cultivars. AIS and WSS pectins showed a degree of methyl-esterification (DM) > 50 %, while ChSS pectins had either a medium (∼50 %) or low (<30 %) DM. Homogalacturonan as major structure was studied using enzymatic fingerprinting. Methyl-ester distribution of pectin was described by degrees of blockiness and -hydrolysis. Novel descriptive parameters were obtained by measuring the levels of methyl-esterified oligomers released by endo-PG (DBPGme) and PL (DBPLme). Pectin fractions differed in relative amounts of non-, moderately-, and highly methyl-esterified segments. WSS pectins were mostly lacking non-esterified GalA sequences, while ChSS pectins had medium DM and many non-methyl-esterified blocks or a low DM with many intermediate methyl-esterified GalA blocks. These findings will be of help to better understand physicochemical properties of apple and its products.
