Erwinia amylovora is a bacterial pathogen responsible for fire blight, a devastating disease that affects apples, pears, and other plants in the Rosaceae family worldwide. Biological control is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical treatments, with Pantoea agglomerans strains playing a key role. This study aims to assess th...

In order to gain better insight into pectin structural variation, pectic sub-domains have to be isolated and further investigated individually. This chapter aimed at the isolation of homogalacturonan (HG) domains from extracted pectin samples. Structural variation in the isolated HG domains due to extraction conditions was investigated

Pectin is a complex macromolecule, made mostly of homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan I. Citrus peel was used as raw material. Pectin extraction: Pectin samples were obtained on a pilot plant scale (harsh nitric acid, mild nitric acid, and harsh oxalic acid extraction) and on a laboratory scale (mild oxalic acid extraction). Pectin composition...

Background and Aims Pectin is a complex macromolecule, the fine structure of which is influenced by many factors. It is used as a gelling, thickening and emulsifying agent in a wide range of applications, from food to pharmaceutical products. Current industrial pectin extraction processes are based on fruit peel, a waste product from the juicing in...

The structure of pecQn (Fig. 1) is based on a backbone of polygalacturonic acid, which is called homogalacturonan region-HG (1). Segments consisQng of alternaQng sequences of L-rhamnosyl and D-galacturonosyl residues, ramified with side chains of arabinans, arabinogalactans, and galactans, are called hairy region-RGI (2).
