Diffusion of macromolecules in self-assembled cellulose/hemicellulose hydrogels.

Soft Matter 11 , 4002-10, (2015)

Cellulose hydrogels are extensively applied in many biotechnological fields and are also used as models for plant cell walls. We synthesised model cellulosic hydrogels containing hemicelluloses, as a biomimetic of plant cell walls, in order to study the role ...

Substrate specificity of plant and fungi pectin methylesterases: Identification of novel inhibitors of PMEs.

Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 81 , 681-91, (2015)

Pectin methylesterases (PMEs) play a central role in pectin remodeling during plant development. They are also present in phytopathogens such as bacteria and fungi. We investigated the substrate specificity and pH dependence of plant and fungi PMEs using tail...

Postharvest analysis of lowland transgenic tomato fruits harboring hpRNAi-ACO1 construct.

ScientificWorldJournal 2012 , 439870, (2012)

The plant hormone, ethylene, is an important regulator which involved in regulating fruit ripening and flower senescence. In this study, RNA interference (RNAi) technology was employed to silence the genes involved in ethylene biosynthetic pathway. This was a...

Pectic substances and pectic enzymes.

Adv. Enzymol. Relat. Subj. Biochem. 20 , 341-82, (1958)

Quality-related enzymes in fruit and vegetable products: effects of novel food processing technologies, part 1: high-pressure processing.

Crit. Rev. Food Sci. Nutr 54(1) , 24-63, (2014)

The activity of endogenous deteriorative enzymes together with microbial growth (with associated enzymatic activity) and/or other non-enzymatic (usually oxidative) reactions considerably shorten the shelf life of fruits and vegetable products. Thermal process...

Characterization of sugar beet pectic-derived oligosaccharides obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis.

Int. J. Biol. Macromol. 52 , 148-56, (2013)

Three pectic oligosaccharides (POS) obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of sugar beet pectin by combining endopolygalacturonase and pectinmethylesterase, were characterized using high performance liquid chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transfo...

Methyl esterification of pectin plays a role during plant-pathogen interactions and affects plant resistance to diseases.

J. Plant Physiol. 169(16) , 1623-30, (2012)

The cell wall is a complex structure mainly composed by a cellulose-hemicellulose network embedded in a cohesive pectin matrix. Pectin is synthesized in a highly methyl esterified form and is de-esterified in muro by pectin methyl esterases (PMEs). The degree...

Effect of 1-methylcyclopropene on chilling injury and quality of peach fruit during cold storage.

J. Food Sci. 76(8) , S485-91, (2011)

The effects of different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, and 5 μL/L) of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on chilling injury (CI), fruit quality, and antioxidant enzyme activities in cold-stored peach fruit (Prunus persica Batsch cv Baifeng) were investigated. The...

Yield and quality effects of electroplasmolysis and microwave applications on carrot juice production and storage.

J. Food Sci. 76(4) , C598-605, (2011)

Electroplasmolysis as a pretreatment and microwave heating as an alternative to traditional heating were used in carrot juice production and the effects of these electrical methods on juice quality were investigated. Electroplasmolysis and microwave applicati...

Evaluation of a potential starter culture for enhance quality of coffee fermentation.

World J. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 29(2) , 235-47, (2013)

The coffee fermentation is characterized by the presence of different microorganisms belonging to the groups of bacteria, fungi and yeast. The objectives of this work were to select pectinolytic microorganisms isolated from coffee fermentations and evaluate t...
