Abstract
This study aims to investigate the impact of high-pressure homogenization (HPH) on the fine structure of pectin, and further investigate the relationships between the fine structure of pectin and carotenoid bioaccessibility in peach, carrot and combined juices. Results showed that HPH affected the yield and structure of water-soluble solids (WSS) pectins. HPH increased the amount of homogalacturonan (HG) extracted, decreased molecular weight, degree of methyl-esterification and degree of acetylation. Furthermore, the distribution of the methyl esters over the HG backbone was modified towards fewer blocks of non-methyl-esterified GalA residues and more segments with a moderate level of methyl esterification. Carotenoid bioaccessibility was found to have negative correlations with certain descriptive parameters of methyl esterification related to methyl ester level and distribution. These descriptive parameters include degree of blockiness (DB), absolute degree of blockiness (DBabs) and the degree of blockiness of methyl-esterified oligomers by PG (DBPGme). Our findings showed pectin structure is associated with carotenoid bioaccessibility, and HPH has the potential to enhance carotenoid bioaccessibility.
期刊介绍:
Food Hydrocolloids publishes original and innovative research focused on the characterization, functional properties, and applications of hydrocolloid materials used in food products. These hydrocolloids, defined as polysaccharides and proteins of commercial importance, are added to control aspects such as texture, stability, rheology, and sensory properties. The research's primary emphasis should be on the hydrocolloids themselves, with thorough descriptions of their source, nature, and physicochemical characteristics. Manuscripts are expected to clearly outline specific aims and objectives, include a fundamental discussion of research findings at the molecular level, and address the significance of the results. Studies on hydrocolloids in complex formulations should concentrate on their overall properties and mechanisms of action, while simple formulation development studies may not be considered for publication.
The main areas of interest are:
-Chemical and physicochemical characterisation
Thermal properties including glass transitions and conformational changes-
Rheological properties including viscosity, viscoelastic properties and gelation behaviour-
The influence on organoleptic properties-
Interfacial properties including stabilisation of dispersions, emulsions and foams-
Film forming properties with application to edible films and active packaging-
Encapsulation and controlled release of active compounds-
The influence on health including their role as dietary fibre-
Manipulation of hydrocolloid structure and functionality through chemical, biochemical and physical processes-
New hydrocolloids and hydrocolloid sources of commercial potential.
The Journal also publishes Review articles that provide an overview of the latest developments in topics of specific interest to researchers in this field of activity.
