[PMID: 38848855 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
In this study, the complexation ability of HG-type hawthorn pectin with trivalent iron ions after de-esterification was investigated. The moderate esterification reaction could significantly increase the iron content in HG-type hawthorn pectin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments proved that -OH and -COOH in the pectin acted as a bridge connecting Fe3+ leading to the formation of β-FeOOH structure, and the trivalent iron ions were successfully complexed into the HG-type hawthorn pectin. In addition, infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopic scans, particle size, and potentiometric measurements were carried out to demonstrate the complexation coordination mechanism of hawthorn pectin with Fe3+, and there were differences in the complexation effect of HG-type hawthorn pectin with different degrees of esterification. The gelling properties of HG-type hawthorn pectin were subsequently verified by in vitro gastrointestinal tract simulation experiments to aid the smooth passage of ferric ions through the gastric juices and reduce irritation. The success of the experiments demonstrated that HG-type hawthorn pectin is an excellent raw material for metal complexation, and the degree of esterification is one of the important factors affecting its complexation effect, which proves its potential application value as an iron supplement.

Abstract
Four modified hawthorn pectin fractions (MHPs), named MHP-30, MHP-50, MHP-70 and MHP-90, were obtained by ultrasonic-assisted pectin methyl esterase modification and gradient ethanol precipitation. The results indicated that all four MHPs were composed of galacturonic acid, galactose, xylose, arabinose, glucose and mannose in different proportions. With the increase of the ethanol concentration, the molecular weight, esterification degree and galacturonic acid content of MHPs all decreased, whereas the arabinose content and branching degree increased. The structural characterization from XRD, SEM, and FT-IR showed that four MHPs exhibited amorphous structure, similar functional groups, diverse surface morphologies. Besides, in vitro antioxidant assays confirmed that MHP-70 and MHP-90 exhibited stronger total antioxidant activities than MHP-30 and MHP-50. The results of simulated saliva-gastrointestinal digestion showed that the molecular weight of MHP-70 and MHP-90 remained stable, yielded small amounts of reducing sugars, and were resistant to digestion in the human upper digestive tract. Overall, MHP-70 and MHP-90 shown great potential as novel natural antioxidants, which are expected to be good carbon sources for the utilization of intestinal microorganisms.

Upgrading pectin methylation for consistently enhanced biomass enzymatic saccharification and cadmium phytoremediation in rice Ospmes site-mutants. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130137. [PMID: 38354940 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Crop straws provide enormous biomass residues applicable for biofuel production and trace metal phytoremediation. However, as lignocellulose recalcitrance determines a costly process with potential secondary waste liberation, genetic modification of plant cell walls is deemed as a promising solution. Although pectin methylation plays an important role for plant cell wall construction and integrity, little is known about its regulation roles on lignocellulose hydrolysis and trace metal elimination. In this study, we initially performed a typical CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing for site mutations of OsPME31, OsPME34 and OsPME79 in rice, and then determined significantly upgraded pectin methylation degrees in the young seedlings of three distinct site-mutants compared to their wild type. We then examined distinctively improved lignocellulose recalcitrance in three mutants including reduced cellulose levels, crystallinity and polymerization or raised hemicellulose deposition and cellulose accessibility, which led to specifically enlarged biomass porosity either for consistently enhanced biomass enzymatic saccharification under mild alkali pretreatments or for cadmium (Cd) accumulation up to 2.4-fold. Therefore, this study proposed a novel model to elucidate how pectin methylation could play a unique enhancement role for both lignocellulose enzymatic hydrolysis and Cd phytoremediation, providing insights into precise pectin modification for effective biomass utilization and efficient trace metal exclusion.

Abstract
In this study, hawthorn pectin was extracted from dried hawthorn with deep eutectic solvent(DES) and compared with the traditional extraction methods such as acid extraction (AE) and ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE). Under optimal conditions, with a molar ratio of choline chloride to urea at 1:3, a water content of 30 %, a liquid-to-solid ratio of 30:1 (mL/g), an extraction temperature of 80 °C, an extraction time of 60 min, and a pH of 1, the yield of hawthorn pectin was 4.33 % ± 0.02 %. The measured results were consistent with the prediction. In addition, compared with AE and UAE, the experimental results showed that DES had a higher yield, a lower degree of esterification, and a slightly different monosaccharide composition from other extraction methods. The results of infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed that DES had a fine microstructure and coarser surface, and the main chemical structure of DES didn't change. The rheological analysis showed that DES had lower apparent viscosity than AE and UAE. These results represent a green source for pectin extraction with high pectin yield and good performance. In conclusion, the deep eutectic solvent has good application prospects in extracting hawthorn pectin.
