In the present study, a novel pH-sensitive hydrogel composite of pectin-grafted-poly (acrylic acid-co-itaconic acid)/MWCNTs- COOH was prepared by using graft copolymerization of acrylic acid and itaconic acid on pectin backbone with incorporation of MWCNTS- COOH. The prepared hydrogel composite has been employed for the adsorption and controlled release of the diclofenac sodium (DS) drug. The hydrogel composite was characterized by the analysis methods: FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TGA to analyze structural characteristics before and after DS drug adsorption. The swelling ratio of the hydrogel composite was investigated at different pH values from pH 1.2 to 10. According to the results, the swelling ratio of the hydrogel composite was found 4195% at pH 7.4. Adsorption process parameters such as pH, contact time, adsorbent dose, and temperature were investigated and found to have a significant influence on DS drug adsorption. The maximum DS drug loading through adsorption of 91% was obtained at pH 3, adsorbent dose of 0.05 g, contact time of 150 min, and temperature of 15 °C. The adsorption isotherm and kinetic results were well-fitted to Freundlich and second-order models. Thermodynamic parameters including changes in Gibb’s free energy, enthalpy, and entropy suggested that the adsorption of DS drug onto hydrogel composite was a spontaneous and exothermic process. The in vitro drug release experiment showed that the cumulative release of DS drug from hydrogel composite after 35 h was significantly higher in simulated intestinal fluid at pH 7.4 than in simulated gastric fluid at pH 1.2.

Colorectal cancer causes the most cancer-associated death worldwide, having a high cancer incidence. Pectin is a complex polysaccharide present in various fruits, emerging as an anti-carcinogenic candidate. Although pectin has a suppressive capacity for colon carcinogenesis, the effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and colonic aberrant foci formation in the colon carcinogenesis mouse model remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigates the regulatory effect of pectin supplementation on colon carcinogenesis induced by azoxymethane (AOM) and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in mice. In an animal experiment, thirty male institute for cancer research (ICR) mice were divided into two experimental groups; AOM/DSS (control group) and AOM/DSS + pectin (5% in drinking water). Furthermore, the number of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and aberrant crypt (AC) on colonic mucosa were counted, and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) assay was performed to estimate lipid peroxidation in feces. Pectin treatment significantly decreased the number of ACF and AC per colon compared with the control. Additionally, fecal TBARS level in the pectin group was significantly lower than those in the control group. Conclusively, these findings indicate that pectin-inhibited hyperplastic alteration and oxidative stress suppress colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis.

The vase life of gerbera is affected by the hardness of the scape. However, although hardening of the cell wall is thought to be caused by calcium ions binding with pectin, the effect of calcium on the pectin fractions in the scape of gerbera has not yet been described. Therefore, this study assessed the calcium and pectin contents of the gerbera scape during bending. The scape of the gerbera cultivar ‘Harmony’ mostly e xhibited b ending i n the S1 and S 2 sections, and the bent scape had poor hardness compared with a normal, unbent scape. The calcium contents of the S1 and S2 sections of the bent scape were 2.9 mg·L-1 and 2.6 mg·L-1 lower than that of the normal scape. Furthermore, the total pectin contents were also generally lower in t he b ent scape, p articularly in t he S 1 section.

This study was conducted to investigate the quality characteristics of low- fat pork patties containing fat replacers. Carrageenan(CA) in combination with pectin(PE) or potato starch(PO) was added as fat replacers and physicochemical properties were evaluated in low-fat pork patties cooked by oven-roasting or pan-frying. Uncooked and cooked pork patties formulated with fat replacers were higher in moisture and ash content and lower in fat content than those of control. The cooking yield and reduction in diameter of pork patties were significantly improved by the addition of fat replacers(p<0.05). Pork patties formulated with CA had the highest fat retention, while CA+PE had the highest water holding capacity. Hunter s L(lightness) value was not different from among patties and a(redness) and b(yellowness) values were higher in carrageenan-based patties than those of control patties. Hardness was higher in carrageenan-based patties than that of control and cohesiveness and springiness showed no difference among patties. Sensory analysis showed that flavor, juiciness and palatability of carrageenan-based patties were superior to control patties and combined use of CA with PE or PO provided improved acceptability of low-fat pork patties over that from using single carrageenan.

Citrus펙틴을 효소로 가수분해시켜 얻은 펙틴분해물은 분해율이 35%가 되면서부터 항균력이 서서히 나타나기 시작하여 70% 이상에서는 급격히 증가하였으며 완전분해(100%)된 펙틴분해물을 배지에 2.0% 첨가하면 35℃에서 24시간까지 Escherichia coli ATCC l1229의 생육을 완전히 억제하였다. 펙틴분해물의 항균력은 pH 4.9~5.5 범위에서 가장 좋았으며 균종별로는 젖산균을 제외한 대부분의 세균에 대하여 강한 항균력을 나타내었고 젖산균과 곰팡이류에 대해서는 항균효과가 약하였으며 효모에 대하여는 전혀 영향을 미치지 않았다. 즉, 대부분의 세균은 펙틴분해물을 2.0~3.0% 첨가하므로써 35℃에서 48시간까지 생육이 완전히 억제되었으나, Lactococus lactis ATCC 19435, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Penicllium funiculosum ATCC l1797은 대조구에 비하여 30~40%만이 억제되었으며 Saccharomyces formosensis와 Saccharomyces cerevisiae는 전혀 영향을 받지 않았다. 한편, glycine, ethanol, sodium ascorbate, sodium chloride 또는 sodium acetate 등의 화학보존료를 병용하면 펙틴분해물을 단독으로 사용하였을 때 보다 항균력이 상승하였다. 김치에 펙틴분해물을 1.0% 첨가하여 4℃에 저장하면 섭취하기에 알맞은 김치의 pH를 유지하는 기간이 대조구에 비하여 적어도 15일 이상 연장되었다. 또한 빵속에 펙틴분해물을 1.0%첨가하면 25℃에서 저장 4일째 대조구에 비하여 4 log cycles 그리고 저장 10일까지도 2 log cycles 정도 균의 성장이 억제되었다. 따라서, 펙틴분해물은 천연식품보존제로 이용가능하며 특히, 젖산균이나 효모에 대해서는 항균작용이 미약하거나 없으므로 젖산균이나 효모를 이용하는 발효식품의 품질보존제로서 아주 유용할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 기존의 화학보존료와 병용하므로써 화학보존료의 첨가량을 감소시킬 수 있다는 점에서도 유용하다고 생각된다.

Pectin, one of the main components of plant cell wall, is deesterified in muro by PME (Pectin methylesterase). PME activity is particularly regulated by inhibitor proteins known as the pectin methylesterase inhibitor (PMEI). The PMEI plays a key role in wounding, osmotic stress, senescence and seed development. However, the role of PMEI in plant species still remains to be demonstrated especially in wheat. To facilitate the studies on the expression of the TaPMEI gene, RT-PCR was performed using leaf, stem and root tissues in response to exogeneous application of phytohormones and abiotic stress treatments. Transcription of the TaPMEI gene was significantly induced in NaCl, H2O2 and SA treatments, and reduced when plants were treated with ABA. To elucidate the subcellular localization of the TaPMEI protein, TaPMEI:GFP fusion construct was transformed into onion epidermal cells by particle bombardment. The fluorescence signal was exclusively detected in cell wall of the cells. In order to obtain recombinant TaPMEI protein, the TaPMEI protein, expressed in E.coli as a MBP (~42.5 kDa) fusion protein recombinant. Purification and functinal analysis of TaPMEI as an inhibitor of PME activity are described.

This study was carried out for the purpose of improving the persimmon vinegar. Crushed persimmon(persimmon pulp) was used at alcohol fermentation using Saccharomyces bayanus for persimmon alcohol medium preparation. Glucose(8.39%) and fructose(7.96%) were the dominant free sugar in persimmon pulp before the at cohol fermentation. They decreased abruptly during alcohol fermentation and glucose was consumed more rapidly than fructose. Final alcohol concentration was finally reached to 8%(v/v) in 5 days for mentation of persimmon pulp. Pectinase pre-treatment of persimmon pulp resulted in tusker contents of galacturonic acid, galactose, methyl alcohol and isoamyl alcohol in main mash for alcohol fermentation than those in main mash prepared without pectinase pre-treatment. After alcohol fermentation tannin concentration was 350ppm and astringency was not perceived.
