Abstract:
Water-soluble fraction (WSF), CDTA-soluble fraction (CSF), sodium carbonate-soluble fraction (SSF), loosely-bonding KOH-soluble fractions (LKF) and tightly-bonding KOH-soluble fractions (TKF) were sequentially extracted from tomato cell wall polysaccharides. Physicochemical properties and functional bioactivities of these different bonding state tomato fruit polysaccharides (DBTP) were investigated. WSF, CSF and SSF were identified as pectic polysaccharides, while LKF and TKF were identified as hemicellulose. WSF, possessing plenty of galacturonic acids, was considered as an aggregative of linear homogalacturonan with extremely high molecular weight. CSF and SSF, rich in neutral sugars side chains, contained abundant rhamnogalacturonan regions. These polysaccharides exhibited distinct surface morphology and special FTIR spectrums. Thermal analysis manifested that LKF and TKF exhibited higher thermal stability. WSF and SSF showed higher apparent viscosity and elasticity. Assays for functional bioactivities suggested that CSF and SSF displayed stronger antioxidant activities, while CSF, SSF and TKF exhibited higher hypolipidemic activities.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

One important factor is the drug's molecular size. The kidneys readily excrete smaller molecules below 300 Daltons (Da). On the other hand, molecules weighing between 300 and 500 Da are excreted through both urine and bile. Larger molecules above 500 Da tend to be excreted...
