Pectinesterase was isolated from the culture medium of Aspergillus japonicus and partially purified by DEAE-Sephadex batchwise, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The purified enzyme solution was completely free from polygalacturonase which depolymerizes pectin molecule. The ability of the pectinesterase to demethylate high methoxyl pectin was investigated. On 20 minute of incubation methoxyl content of low methoxyl pectin decreased from 88％ to 6.93%. In general gel prepared with the pectin containing lower methoxyl content showed the lower value of percent sag, and showed the hieher Bel strength. Textural characteristics of pectin gel determined by Rheometer showed that as the methoxyl content was lowered, hardness and resilience of the gel were increased and cohesiveness was decreased. Apple juice containing HMP and organic acids can be converted into low methoxyl pectin apple jelly by the action of pectinesterase and addition of calcium ion. The strength of low methoxyl pectin apple jelly increased when it stored at room temperature.

The chemical composition of differentiating xylem of Populus deltoides M. were investigated and compared with those from sapwood. The cell wall polysaccharides were extracted sequentially from a differentiating xylem and sugar composition was analyzed with G.L.C, H.P.L.C and gel chromatograpy. The pectin substance and hemicellulose are rich in the cell wall of differentiating xylem. The $H_2O$ extract polysaccharides from differentiating xylem were composed with xylose-glucose residues which seem to be xyloglucan and a pectin. The arabinogalactan and the mannan were extracted with $Na_2CO_3$ solution and also the xylan was extracted with KOH solution. Sugar composition of each fractions in gel filteration of purified $H_2O$ polysaccharide suggests that the xyloglucan can be extracted with $H_2O$ from differentiating xylem.

This study was attempted to investigate the occurrence and the partial characteristics of pectinesterase (PE) in cucumbers. And the involvement of endogenous cucumber PE with the formation of insoluble pectic acid, in the presence of endogenous or added calcium ions, was also studied. The results of this study are as follows: 1) PE activity was detected in whole cucumber homogenate. 2) The optimum pH and temperature of this enzyme were found to be 8.5 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively 3) When PE extract was added to 0.25% pectin solution, pectin gel was formed. The time required for the formation of pectin gel was reduced when the pectin solution was adjusted to the optimum conditions for PE activity(pH 8.5, $50^{\circ}C$) and $CaCl_2$ was added. 4) Cucumber juice which was heated to $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes fatted to form any insoluble pectate precipitate. The formation of precipitate in cucumber juice was accelerated by preheating to $50^{\circ}C$, adjusting to pH 8.5 and addition of $CaCl_2$. 5) These results can be interpreted that endogenous PE in cucumber juice demethylates pectin, allowing interlinking of pectin molecules via divalent cation $(Ca^{++})$ and thus forming insoluble Ca-pectate. Therefore additional firming effects of cucumber can be expected to be obtained through activation of PE in conjunction with calcium ions.

레토르트 처리한 양파의 조직감(견고성)을 향상시키기 위하여 칼슘용액에서 장시간 저온(LTLT)블랜칭을 실시하였다. 칼슘용액에서 예비 열처리한 양파는 일반적인 블랜칭과 비교시 고온 멸균한 후 양파의 조직감이 의미있게 향상되었다. LTLT 블랜칭에 의한 견고성의 향상은 양파 조직의 pectin methylesterase(PME) 작용으로 carboxyl 그룹과 2가 양이온($Ca^{2+}$)간의 강한 가교결합과 관련이 있다. 0.5% 칼슘용액에서 $70^{\circ}C$, 120분동안 예비 열처리를 행하였을 때 가장 높은 견고성을 가진 레토르트 처리된 양파를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 같은 결과는 양파에서 PME의 활성도와 결합된 칼슘의 함량이 $70^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았다는 것을 의미한다. 또한, $Mg^{2+}$와 같은 여러 2가 양이온을 함유하고 있는 알칼리 계통 칼슘이 펙틴 분자를 상온에서 가수분해하는 기작이 효소 작용에 더해져 여러 칼슘용액 중에서 레토르트 처리된 양파의 조직감을 가장 견고하게 하였다. 향후 여러 가지 레토르트 처리된 야채들의 조직 연화 방지를 위한 최적조건 실험이 야채별로 더 많이 수행되어야 할 것이다.

The cell wall components of fruit include cellulose. hemicellulose, pectin, glycoprotein etc., and the cell wall composition differs according to the kind of fruit. Fruit softening occurs as a result of a change in the cell wall polysaccharides : the middle lamella which links primary cell walls is composed of pectin. and primary cell walls are decomposed by a solution of middle lamella caused due to a result of pectin degradation by pectin degrading enzymes during ripening and softening, During fruit ripening and softening, contents of arabinose and galactose among non-cellulosic neutral sugars are notably decreased, and this occurs as a result of the degradation of pectin during fruit repening and softening since they are side-chained with pectin in the form of arabinogalactan and galactan Enzymes involved in the degradation of the cell wall include polygalacturonase, cellulose, pectinmethylesterase, glycosidase, etc., and various studies have been done on the change in enzyme activities during the ripening and softning of fruit. Among cell wall-degrading enzymes, polygalacturonase has the greatest effect on fruit softening, and its activity Increases during the maturating and softening of fruit. This softening leads to the textural change of fruit as a result of the degradation of cell wall polysaccharides by a cell wall degrading enzyme which exists in fruit.

Very low methoxyl pectin (VLMP) has different physical and rheological properties compared to high and low methoxyl pectins (HMP and LMP). In this study, we produced LMP and VLMP by alkaline de-esterification, and investigated the structural and textural properties. Apple peel pectin was kept at pH 12 using 5.0 M NaOH solution for 3 and 24 h to produce LMP and VLMP, respectively. The molecular weight was decreased due to the removal of an esterified group in the pectin backbones by the alkali treatment, and the VLMP showed a higher calcium ion sensitivity which leads to the production of the gel with increased hardness. The result clearly showed that VLMP has the potential to improve the texture and stability in food products depending on their degree of esterification, and this result can be applied as a functional ingredient in food industrial area application to enhance the current commercial pectins.

본 연구에서는 7% 소금 용액을 이용하여 예비 열처리($60^{\circ}C$, 1시간), pH8.5로의 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave를 이용한 후열처리가 오이지 침지 용액의 pH, 산도, AIS내의 총 펙틴 함량, HWSP 함량, 견고도에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 제조 0, 5, 10, 15, 25일째의 분석을 통해 pH는 감소, 산도는 높아지는 경향을 보였으며 최종 분석일의 pH는 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave 후열처리군이 가장 높은 3.1, 산도는 1.93%로 가장 낮은 수치를 보였다. AIS에 존재하는 총 펙틴 함량은 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 대조군에 비해 처리군들의 감소율은 적었으며 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave 후열처리군의 최종 함량은 가장 높은 17.93%로 나타났다. HWSP의 함량은 제조 후 5일째부터 15일째까지는 증가하다가 그 이후에는 급격히 감소했다. Texturometer에 의한 견고도 측정결과 제조 후 15일째부터는 실험군들간에 차이가 많이 나기 시작했으며 최종 견고도는 대조군이 가장 낮은 4.77kg, 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave 후열처리군이 가장 높은 6.88kg로 나타났다. 연구결과로 보아 총 펙틴 함량과 견고도와는 서로 연관이 깊은 것으로 보이며 microwave 후열처리는 펙틴물질의 분해를 저지시켜 견고도가 감소되는 정도를 낮게 해 줄 수 있는 방법이 될 수 있다고 생각한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of Su Ri Chwi (Synurus Palmatopinnonatifidus var. indivisus KiTAM.) cooked in different solution (distilled water, 1%, salt and 1% sodium bicarbonate added water) and time. The content of crude fiber showed the highest percentage among the alcohol-insoluble solids of cooked Su Ri Chwi. The contents of Ca and Mg were decreased by the addition of 1% sodium bicarbonate. The main neutral sugars of alcohol insoluble solids were arabinose, galactose, and glucose. The content of glucose was increased regardless of method used. The main neutral sugars of crude pectins were rhamnose, arabinose and glucose. Galactose was increased by the cooking. The gel chromatography on Sepharose CL-4B indicated that the pectin extracted from cooked Su Ri Chwi had lower molecular weight distribution than that of the raw Su Ri Chwi. Total pectin was decreased by the cooking method used. The amounts of soluble pectins of Su Ri Chwi cooked in 1% sodium bicarbonate added water were lower than those of raw material.

BACKGROUND: Certain crop-based waste materials have been recognized as cost-effective and highly efficient adsorbents for removal and recovery of different kind of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The ability is strongly attributed to the carboxyl functional group of some pectin substances such as galacturonic acid often found in fruit peels. The present manuscript was aimed at assessing the potential applicability of banana peel for metal removal from contaminated waters. METHODS AND RESULTS: As revealed by laboratory investigations, banana peel contains pectin (10-21%), lignin (6-12%), cellulose (7.6-9.6%), and hemicelluloses (6.4-9.4%). The pectin extraction is reported to have glucose, galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose, and galactouroninc acid. Several studies conducted under different conditions proved that banana peel is capable of adsorbing 5.71, 2.55, 28.00, 6.88, 7.97, and 5.80 mg/g of $Cd^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Pb^{2+}$, and $Zn^{2+}$, respectively, from aqueous solutions. Adsorption capacity is, however, dependent upon several factors including solution pH, dose of adsorbent and metal concentration, contact time and shaking speed. CONCLUSION(S): Since the annual world production of banana exceeds 100 million tons, about 40 million tons of banana peel (40% of total weight of the fresh fruit) remains vastly unused. Exploring a sound technology with banana peel would therefore, not only address the much needed sustainable tool for cleaning contaminated waters, but of course bring an additional value to the banana industry worldwide.
