    Valorization of pickled cabbage waste as a novel pectin source: Optimization, characterization

    Erten, Tayyibe; Cebeci Aydın, Fatma

    Recovery of food ingredients from agro-industrial by-products has become increasingly essential for sustainable food production through energy saving and lessening the carbon footprint. Pickled white cabbage production generates high amounts of pickled cabbage waste that contain valuable goods such as pectin. This study aimed to evaluate the valorization of pectin from pickled cabbage waste by comparing the conventional (CE) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The UAE provided 2.14 times higher pectin yield (30.32%) compared to CE (14.14%) while reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission (~ 7 times lower). Pectins obtained from conventional extraction (CEP) and ultrasound-assisted extraction (UEP) had high amounts of galacturonic acid (85.06 ± 1.76%, 87.95 ± 6.99%, respectively) and low degree of esterification (17.08 ± 1.14%, 14.71 ± 0.00%). The monosaccharide compositions of pectin were similar for CEP and UEP, comprising of galacturonic acid, glucose, arabinose, rhamnose and xylose. FT-IR, NMR and SEM confirmed the structural characteristics of pectins, and the effect of ultrasonication. Furthermore, UEP presented superior technological characteristics including water holding capacity (5.29 ± 0.38 g water/g pectin), oil holding capacity (1.58 ± 0.11 g oil/g pectin), emulsion activity (43.61 ± 1.12%) and emulsion stability compared to CEP. These findings show that pickled cabbage waste is a valuable source of low-methoxyl pectins and UAE is a promising extraction method for obtaining high amount of pectin along with reduced processing time and energy consumption. The UAE method using of citric acid instead of hazardous acids also offers environment-friendly method for pectin extraction.

    Microwave-assisted extraction of pectin from persimmon: physicochemical properties, structural characterization and greenness assessment

    Yılmaz, Özlem; Kutlu, Naciye; Kamiloğlu, Aybike; Elbir Abca, Tuğba

    In this study, the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of pectin from persimmon was optimized using a Box-Behnken experimental design, with pH, extraction time, and liquid-to-solid ratio as independent variables. The optimization results obtained through response surface methodology indicated optimum conditions of pH 1.78, extraction time of 8 min, and a liquid-to-solid ratio of 125 mL/g, corresponding to a predicted pectin yield of 4.28%. In the validation experiment, the actual pectin yield was determined to be 3.79 ± 0.04%, confirming a good agreement with the model predictions. The degree of esterification, methoxyl content, galacturonic acid and ash contents, water- and oil-holding capacities, antioxidant activity, rheological behavior, and structural properties (FT-IR, DSC, and 1H NMR) of the samples obtained under optimal MAE and conventional extraction conditions were compared. Based on the degree of esterification, both samples were classified as high-methoxyl, with galacturonic acid contents of 41% and 42% for the MAE and conventionally extracted samples, respectively; both values were below the ≥ 65% level specified for commercial food-grade pectin. The ash content was higher in the MAE sample (7.22%) than in the conventionally extracted sample (1.56%). MAE resulted in a pectin-rich complex with a relatively low galacturonic acid content and higher antioxidant activity than the conventionally extracted sample. Furthermore, the MAE sample exhibited higher water-holding capacity but lower oil-binding capacity than the conventionally extracted sample. Rheological analysis showed that the MAE sample exhibited higher apparent viscosity and shear stress than the conventionally extracted sample. FT-IR analysis revealed more pronounced absorption bands in the MAE sample, suggesting structural differences. DSC analysis revealed differences in the thermal behavior of the MAE and conventionally extracted samples. Additionally, 1H NMR analysis supported the presence of characteristic pectic structural features in both samples. The greenness assessment of the method was assessed using the Greenness Evaluation Metric for Analytical Methods (GEMAM), which yielded an overall score of 7.482, indicating a high level of environmental acceptability. Overall, MAE can be considered an efficient and sustainable approach for obtaining a pectin-rich complex with antioxidant activity from persimmon.

    Can Enzymatic Modified Pectin in Mediterranean Fruits Be Therapeutic Against Stomach Cancer?

    Üstün, Selime; Kizil, Hamit Emre; Dertli, Enes

    The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of enzymatically modified pectin products derived from grapefruit, jujube, and kumquat on the MKN-45 gastric cancer cell line in vitro. FTIR analysis revealed that the spectra of the pectins produced were comparable to those of commercial pectin and included the characteristic peaks identified in the literature. The galacturonic acid content was measured as 612 mg/g in grapefruit pectin, 544 mg/g in jujube pectin, and 704 mg/g in kumquat pectin. DSC analysis indicated that all pectin samples and their modifications exhibited one endothermic peak and one exothermic peak. Cytotoxicity assessments revealed that the enzymatically modified grapefruit pectin demonstrated significant cytotoxic effects across all tested concentrations, with 0.075 mg/mL being the most effective. For kumquat pectin, all tested concentrations showed cytotoxic properties, with 0.3, 0.15, and 0.075 mg/mL being the most effective. In the case of jujube pectin, cytotoxic effects were observed at all concentrations except for 1.2 mg/mL.

    Optimization of pectin extraction from crab apple peel and usage in a model meat emulsion system

    Aldemir, Hazal; Kamiloğlu, Aybike; Çakır, Özlem

    The aim of this study was to optimize conditions of microwave-assisted pectin extraction from crab apple peels using the Box–Behnken experimental design. For this purpose, microwave-assisted pectin extraction was performed at different extraction time (3, 6, and 9 min), liquid/solid ratio (75, 100, and 125), and pH (1.5, 2.0, 2.5). The optimum conditions were selected as extraction time (7.77 min), liquid/solid ratio (77.53 mL/g), and pH/1.79). The response, obtained under optimum conditions was determined as 0.1128 ± 0.0137 g pectin/g crab apple peel. In addition, it was determined that the obtained pectin sample had an esterification degree of 79.14% and oil and water binding capacities of 8.5 ± 0.7 g oil/g pectin and 8.1 ± 1.5 g water/g pectin, respectively. It was determined that pectin emulsions showed higher stability at 1% pectin level. The possibilities of using pectin obtained under optimized conditions as a fat replacer in a model sausage system were investigated. Pectin was evaluated in the model sausage system at two different concentrations. With the increasing pectin concentration, the cooking loss value increased from 14 to 18%, while leakage decreased from 0.31% to 0.18%, showing a negative effect on cooking loss and a positive impact on the amount of leakage into the packaging. Pectin obtained from crab apple peel has the potential to be used for reducing fat content in sausage environment.

    Isolation and Biophysical Characterisation of Bioactive Polysaccharides from Cucurbita Moschata (Butternut Squash)

    Jiwani, Shahwar Imran; Gillis, Richard B.; Besong, David; Almutairi, Fahad; Erten, Tayyibe; Kök, M. Samil; Harding, Stephen E.; Paulsen, Berit S.; Adams, Gary G.

    Cucurbits are plants that have been used frequently as functional foods. This study includes the extraction, isolation, and characterisation of the mesocarp polysaccharide ofCucurbita moschata. The polysaccharide component was purified by gel filtration into three fractions (NJBTF1, NJBTF2, and NJBTF3) of different molecular weights. Characterisation includes the hydrodynamic properties, identification of monosaccharide composition, and bioactivity. Sedimentation velocity also indicated the presence of small amounts of additional discrete higher molecular weight components even after fractionation. Sedimentation equilibrium revealed respective weight average molecular weights of 90, 31, and 19 kDa, with the higher fractions (NJBTF1 and NJBTF2) indicating a tendency to self-associate. Based on the limited amount of data (combinations of 3 sets of viscosity and sedimentation data corresponding to the 3 fractions), HYDFIT indicates an extended, semi-flexible coil conformation. Of all the fractions obtained, NJBTF1 showed the highest bioactivity. All fractions contained galacturonic acid and variable amounts of neutral sugars. To probe further, the extent of glycosidic linkages in NJBTF1 was estimated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), yielding a high galacturonic acid content (for pectin polysaccharide) and the presence of fructans-the first evidence of fructans (levan) in the mesocarp. Our understanding of the size and structural flexibility together with the high bioactivity suggests that the polysaccharide obtained fromC. moschatahas the potential to be developed into a therapeutic agent.

    Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Muslu, Asli; Karasu, Salih; Bozkurt, Fatih; Dertli, Enes

    Pectin, which is one of the most important wastes of fruit juice industry, was extracted from orange pulp at optimum conditions (pH, time and temperature) and modified using pectinase. The effect of modification on the structural properties of pectin was monitored using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. The bands at 1600-1800 cm(-1) which indicate the specific region and quality of pectin were detected using FTIR while galacturonic acid content was determined using HPLC. The results showed that the galacturonic acid content of pectin from orange pulp was determined to be 406.44 mg/g powder pectin while that of the modified pectin from the orange pulp was determined to be 465,34 mg/g powder pectin. In addition, flow properties of the pectin samples were determined using rheological analysis. The viscosity and viscoelastic properties of the modified pectin samples were revealed to be different from those of non-modified pectin samples. The consistency index values of unmodified and modified pectin samples were determined to be 0.0559 Pa.s(n) and 0.0046 Pa.s(n), respectively.
