THE PREPARATION OF cl-GALACTURONIC ACID FROM LEMON PECTIC ACID.*

چکیده

A noteworthy advance in the knowledge of the constitution of the pectic compounds was afforded through the excellent researches of Ehrlich and his coworkers (1)) who discovered that d-galacturonic acid, an isomer of d-glucuronic acid, was a constituent of all pectic substances so far examined. Later researches showed that the pectic acid obtainable from sugar beet pectin (2) can be regarded as a triacetyl-arabino-galacto-dimethoxy-tetragalacturonic acid, wherein the galacturonic acid comprises approximately 68 per cent of the molecule. Essentially the same structure was deduced for the pectic acid from flax pectin (3) which is made up of 61 per cent of galacturonic acid, and the pectic acid from orange peelings which is composed of 73.7 per cent of galacturonic acid. In 1924, the senior writer had occasion to require considerable quantities of galacturonic acid for biochemical studies conducted in conjunction with Dr. James G. Dickson of the Department of Plant Pathology. After considerable experimentation with the various commercial preparations obtainable and several prepared in the laboratory from sugar beet pulp and apple pumice, it was found that a lemon pectin preparation from the California Fruit Growers Exchange Laboratory afforded the most economical and convenient starting material. In view of the fact that the study of the chemistry of the pectin constituents (4) has recently attained a rather preeminent position in organic and plant biochemical

استخراج پکتین و مقایسه بازدهی، درجه استریفیکاسیون و درصد گالاکتورونیک اسید در پوست برخی مرکبات

Background and purpose: Pectin is widely used in food, cosmetic and drug industries. Because of high production and consumption of citrus fruits in Mazandaran, fruit peel is available in large quantities. The objective of the current investigation was to determine the amount of pectin, degree of estrification, a key factor in rheological properties of pectin, and galacturonic acid content as...

Pectic Acid Effects on Prolactin Secretion in GH3/B6 Rat Pituitary Cell Line

Background: Pectic acid extracted from plants increases the secretion of prolactin (PRL) when injected intravenously into ewes or fed to rats. Fragments of ewe hypophysis and lactating rabbit mammary gland incubated in vitro in the presence of pectic acid secreted more PRL and caseins compared to the controls. However, it is not known whether pectic acid directly stimulates PRL secretion in pi...

Isolation, characterization and modification of citrus pectins

Article info: Received: 18 October 2012 Accepted: 10 December 2012 ABSTRACT Orange and lemon peels were used for obtaining pectic polysaccharides. Citrus peels were previously treated with 96% ethanol, and the obtained alcoholinsoluble solids (AIS) were subjected to a sequential extraction with hot distilled water and hot 0.5% HCl. Waterand acid-extracted orange (WEOP and AEOP) and lemon (WELP ...

Hydrolysis of the oligogalacturonides and pectic acid by yeast polygalacturonase.

Yeast polygalacturonase (YPG) is a constitutive type enzyme, produced exocellularly and free of pectinesterase by Saccharomyces jragilis (1). It has an optimal pH of 4.4 and appears to be specific in its activity towards polygalacturonides (2). YPG differs from preparations of commercial fungus polygalacturonase in that it cannot carry out a complete breakdown of pectic acid to galacturonic aci...
