β-Galactosidase and its significance in ripening mango fruit
TLDR
The close correlation between changes in beta-galactosidase activity, tissue softness, and increased pectin solubility and degradation suggests that beta-GalactOSidase might play an important role in cell wall pectIn modification and softening of mango fruit during ripening.About:

Valuable components of raw and ripe peels from two Indian mango varieties
TL;DR: In this paper, proximate composition, polyphenols, carotenoids, dietary fibre contents and activities of few enzymes in raw and ripe peels of two Indian mango varieties, namely, Raspuri and Badami were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study on wall degrading enzymes, pectin modifications and softening during ripening of selected tropical fruits
TL;DR: Investigation of cell wall modifying capacity and enzyme composition of rapid and slow-softening tropical fruits during ripening found extensive pectin modifications occurred in ripening tomato, mango and papaya, explaining that endo-PG might not be the determining factor of differential softening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mango - Postharvest Biology and Biotechnology
TL;DR: The export potential and international trade of mango is limited due to several factors such as its perishable nature, disease and pest infestation, and susceptibility of certain premium cultivars to chilling injury when stored at low temperatures.

Changes in firmness, cell wall composition and cell wall hydrolases of grapes stored in high oxygen atmospheres
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of high oxygen (O2) atmospheres on the firmness of "Kyoho" grapes (Vitis vinifera L. X V. labrusca L.), changes in cell wall constituents and hydrolase activities were examined during 60 days of controlled atmosphere storage in air (control), 40% O2+30% CO2 or 80% O 2 (high O2) at 0°C and 95% relative humidity.

The Structure of Plant Cell Walls: I. The Macromolecular Components of the Walls of Suspension-cultured Sycamore Cells with a Detailed Analysis of the Pectic Polysaccharides.
TL;DR: The structures of the pectic polymers (the neutral arabinan, the neutral galactan, and the acidic rhamnogalacturonan) were obtained by methylation analysis of fragments of these polymers which were released from the sycamore walls by the action of a highly purified endopolygalacturonase.

β-Galactosidases in Ripening Tomatoes
TL;DR: The ability of β-galactosidase II to degrade the galactan and the increase in its activity during tomato ripening suggest a possible role for this enzyme in tomato softening.
