Grape pomace is one of the main by-products in wine industry and contains some high-added-value compounds, such as polysaccharides. Considering wide application possibilities polysaccharides food industry, revalorization grape to extract presents itself an opportunity for by-product management. Therefore, aim this study was characterize polysaccharide extracts obtained from different white vari...

Yeast polygalacturonase catalyzes a random hydrolysis of pectic acid to a mixture of digalacturonic and galacturonic acids via a series of oligogalacturonides (1). This enzyme will be termed yeast endo-polygalacturonase to differentiate it from end group-hydrolyzing enzymes, which have been named exopolygalacturonases (2). Evidence has been presented that yeast endo-polygalacturonase is a singl...

HIGHLIGHTS Bauhinia monandra leaf is mesomorphous to xeromorphous. It has glandular navicular and uniseriate nonglandular trichomes. The petiole differential anatomical characteristics within the genus. pulvinus motile cushion have live pectic septate fibres.

Relative molecular size distributions of pectic and hemicellulosic polysaccharides of pea (Pisum sativum cv Alaska) third internode primary walls were determined by gel filtration chromatography. Pectic polyuronides have a peak molecular mass of about 1100 kilodaltons, relative to dextran standards. This peak may be partly an aggregate of smaller molecular units, because demonstrable aggregatio...
