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...

Optimization of pectin extraction from banana peels with citric acid by using response surface methodology.

Food Chem. 198 , 113-8, (2016)

A central composite design was used to determine effects of pH (2.0-4.5), extraction temperature (70-90 °C) and time (120-240 min) on the yield, degree of methoxylation (DM) and galacturonic acid content (GA) of pectins extracted from banana peels with citric...

Pomegranate peel pectin films as affected by montmorillonite.

Food Chem. 198 , 107-12, (2016)

The industrial production of pomegranate juice has been favored by its alleged health benefits derived from its antioxidant properties. The processing of pomegranate juice involves squeezing juice from the fruit with the seeds and the peels together, leaving ...

β-Lactoglobulin nanofibrils can be assembled into nanotapes via site-specific interactions with pectin.

Soft Matter 12 , 756-68, (2016)

Controlling the self-assembly of individual supramolecular entities, such as amyloid fibrils, into hierarchical architectures enables the 'bottom-up' fabrication of useful bionanomaterials. Here, we present the hierarchical assembly of β-lactoglobulin nanofib...
