pectic polysaccharide/アブラナ属

Pectic substances are a major component of cell walls in vegetable plants and have an important influence on plant food texture. Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) stem sections at different regions of the mature plant stem have been monitored for tissue-related changes in the native

To enable structural characteristics of individual cell wall polysaccharides from rapeseed (Brassica napus) meal (RSM) to be studied, polysaccharide fractions were sequentially extracted. Fractions were analysed for their carbohydrate (linkage) composition and polysaccharide structures were also

Cell-wall- and pectin-degrading enzyme preparations were used to enhance extractability of proteins from rapeseed press cake. Rapeseed press cakes from cold pressing of intact Brassica rapa and partially dehulled Brassica napus seeds, containing 36-40% protein and 35% carbohydrates, were treated

The degradation of a swede (Brassica napus L., cv. Danestone) diet anterior to the terminal ileum was studied in two pigs fitted with T-shaped cannulas 150 mm before the ileo-caecal junction. Digestibility was calculated with reference to chromic oxide and polyethylene glycol. In addition to the

Root tips of many plant species release a number of border, or border-like, cells that are thought to play a major role in the protection of root meristem. However, little is currently known on the structure and function of the cell wall components of such root cells. Here, we investigate the sugar

Fruits and vegetables provide dietary fibre some of which is partly soluble in the upper gut; in the colon it is highly fermentable. Using alcohol-insoluble residues prepared from a range of fruits and vegetables the effects of fermentation on the changes in composition and binding capacity have
