Mechanical properties with respect to water content of gelatin films in glassy state
Iryna Yakimets,Nikolaus Wellner,Andrew C. Smith,Reginald H. Wilson,Imad A. Farhat,John R. Mitchell +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and molecular level changes on gelatin films induced by hydration below 25±3% water content (glass-rubbery transition at ambient temperature) were identified with DSC and FTIR spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
New approaches to understanding and controlling cell separation in relation to fruit and vegetable texture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the potential for exploiting this finding in other edible plant organs, and assess the likely effects that enhanced crosslinking might have on other quality attributes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile properties of Arabidopsis cell walls depend on both a xyloglucan cross-linked microfibrillar network and rhamnogalacturonan II-borate complexes.
Peter Ryden,Keiko Sugimoto-Shirasu,Andrew C. Smith,Kim Findlay,Wolf-Dieter Reiter,Maureen C. McCann +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that borate-complexed rhamnogalacturonan II and galactosylated xyloglucan contribute to the tensile strength of cell walls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of water as a diluent on the glass transition behaviour of malto-oligosaccharides, amylose and amylopectin.
TL;DR: The glass transition behaviour of amorphous malto-oligomers from dimer to hexamer was investigated as a function of diluent (water) concentration using differential scanning calorimetry and the predicted variation of Tg with Diluent concentration for these materials was compared with the experimentally observed behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mechanical properties and molecular dynamics of plant cell wall polysaccharides studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.
Reginald H. Wilson,Andrew C. Smith,Marta Kačuráková,Paul K. Saunders,Nikolaus Wellner,Keith W. Waldron +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that cellulose and xyloglucan associate while pectin creates an independent network that exhibits different reorientation rates in the wet onion cell walls that responds faster to oscillation than the more rigid cellulose.
