TL;DR: The proteinaceous material present in beta-lactoglobulin fibrils formed after heating (20 h at 85 degrees C) at pH 2 was identified and explained for the hydrophobicity, low charge, charge distribution, and capacity to form beta-sheets.

TL;DR: It is shown that after saponification, the xylogalacturonan was eluted as a single peak on anion-exchange chromatography whereas three peaks were obtained when the MHR was deacetylated by RGAEase, indicating variations in the degrees of methylation.

TL;DR: Apple pectin modified hairy regions were degraded by controlled acid hydrolysis to get more insight in the inter linkage between the various structural elements, and currently used pECTin models were refined.

TL;DR: Alcohol insoluble solids from apple were extracted in sequence by buffer at 20 degrees C and at 70 degrees C, EDTA/oxalate, and mild alkali, yielding four populations of pectins and the insoluble residue, characterized by their sugar composition, degree of esterification, molecular weight distribution, and degradability.

TL;DR: In this paper, cell wall polysaccharides from black currants and bilberries were characterised in three approaches: skin, pulp, and seeds, and the distribution of poly-saccharide distribution over these tissues.
