Abstract
Winemaking production is old knowledge of the combination of saccharification and fermentation processes. During the fermentation process, ethanol concentration is one of the main key parameters that provides the quality of wine and is linked to the consumption of carbohydrates present in wine. In this work was determined the better fermentation time, where the wine retains its highest concentration of ethanol and a higher concentration of the polysaccharides of Bordo wine of Vitis labrusca by 1D and 2D NMR measurements. The study provides information on the polysaccharide content for improving features and quality control of winemaking. Moreover, following previous studies by our group (de Lacerda Bezerra et al., 2018, de Lacerda Bezerra, Caillot, de Oliveira, Santana-Filho, & Sassaki, 2019; Stipp et al., 2023) showed that the soluble polysaccharides also inhibited the production of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) and mediator (NO) in macrophage cells stimulated with LPS, bringing some important health benefits of wine.

Carbohydr Polym 2024; 335:122010.

Abstract
The mesocarp (albedo) of passion fruit is considered a waste product but rich in soluble fibers, especially pectins. Biological activity and health benefits of pectins have recently emerged, especially in colorectal cancer and attenuating inflammation. Pectin conventional extraction often uses mineral acids, which can be hazardous to the environment, and alternatives can be costly. Here, we assessed a high-temperature and pressure method to extract pectin from the passion fruit albedo and evaluated the differences from the water-soluble fractions extracted. HPSEC, HPAEC, FTIR-ATR, and HSQC-NMR were performed to identify and confirm the highly methylated homogalacturonan structures. The heat-modified samples showed a decreased molecular size compared to the untreated sample. Colorectal cancer cell lines showed reduced viability after being treated with different doses of modified samples, with two of them, LW-MP3 and 4, showing the most potent effects. All samples were detected inside cells by immunofluorescence assay. It was observed that LW-MP3 and 4 upregulated the p53 protein, indicating cell-cycle arrest and the cleaved caspase-9 in one of the cell lines, with LW-MP4 enhancing cell death by apoptosis. Since the modified samples were composed of hydrolyzed homogalacturonans, those probably were the responsible structures for these anti-cancer effects.

Abstract
Fruits and vegetables processing produces significant amounts of by-products rich in valuable bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and dietary fiber. Food by-product re-use promotes the eco-sustainability of several crops. This study aimed to apply green extractions of bioactive compounds from by-products of basil, tomato, and red bell pepper production. Tests were performed by applying extraction procedures both at laboratory scale and using the Timatic® extractor. Water and ethanol 10% and 20% were used for extraction of red bell pepper and tomato, testing different temperatures (30, 50, and 90 °C; water at 90 °C and ethanol 20% were applied for basil. The obtained phenolic extracts were analyzed by HPLC-DAD-MS. Polysaccharides of tomato and red bell pepper were extracted at laboratory scale and chemically characterized using 1H-NMR to define the methylation and acylation degree, and DLS to estimate the hydrodynamic volume. Laboratory extraction tests allowed efficient scaling-up of the process on the Timatic® extractor. Phenolic content in the dried extracts (DE) ranged 8.0-11.2 mg/g for tomato and red bell pepper and reached 240 mg/g for basil extracts. Polysaccharide yields (w/w on DM) reached 6.0 and 10.4% for dried tomato and red bell pepper, respectively. Dry extracts obtained using the Timatic® extractor and water can be useful sources of bioactive phenols. The study provided new data on tomato and red bell pepper polysaccharides that may be useful for future applications.

Abstract
Pectin, a type of soluble fiber, promotes morphological changes in the small intestinal villi. Although its physiological significance is unknown, we hypothesized that changes in villus morphology enhance the efficiency of nutrient absorption in the small intestine and investigated the effect of pectin derived from persimmon on calcium absorption using polarized Caco-2 cells. In polarized Caco-2 cells, pectin altered the mRNA expression levels of substances involved in calcium absorption and the regulation of intracellular calcium concentration and significantly reduced calcium absorption. Although this was comparable to the results of absorption and permeability associated with the addition of active vitamin D, the simultaneous action of pectin and active vitamin D did not show any additive effects. Furthermore, as active vitamin D significantly increases the activity of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (ALP), which is known to be involved in the regulation of intestinal absorption of calcium and lipids, we also investigated the effect of pectin on intestinal ALP activity. As a result, it was found that, unlike the effect of active vitamin D, pectin significantly reduced intestinal ALP activity. These results suggest that pectin stimulates polarized Caco-2 cells through a mechanism distinct from the regulation of calcium absorption by vitamin D, modulating total calcium absorption from the elongated villi through morphological changes in the small intestine by suppressing it at the cellular level.

Abstract
Piper regnellii is a plant popularly known as "Pariparoba" and it is widely used in folk medicine to treat pain, inflammation, among others. This work presents the extraction, purification and characterization of polysaccharides present in the plant leaves and evaluation of their anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. From the crude aqueous extract of P. regnellii leaves, a polysaccharide fraction named PR30R, predominantly constituted of arabinose, galactose and galacturonic acid monosaccharide units, was obtained. Methylation and NMR analysis showed that the main polysaccharides of PR30R are a type II arabinogalactan, formed by a β-D-Galp-(1 → 3) main chain, substituted at O-6 by side chains of β-D-Galp-(1 → 6), which are substituted at O-3 by non-reducing α-L-Araf ends, and a homogalacturonan, formed by →4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→ units. Intraperitoneal administration of the crude polysaccharide fraction PRSF reduced significantly nociception induced by acetic acid in mice at the doses tested, and the PR30R fraction, derived from PRSF, presented antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects at a dose of 0.1096 mg/kg (PRSF ED50). These data support the use of the plant leaves in folk medicine as an herbal tea to treat pain and inflammation.

Abstract
Soursop fruits are widely used in the folk medicine to treat a variety of health conditions. Once the chemical structure of dietary fibers from fruits is closely related to its biological functions in the human body, we aimed to explore structural features and biological activity of dietary fibers from soursop. Polysaccharides that constitute the soluble and insoluble fibers were extracted and further analyzed using monosaccharide composition, methylation, molecular weight determination and 13C NMR data. Soursop soluble fibers (SWa fraction) were characterized as having type II arabinogalactan and a highly methyl esterified homogalacturonan, while non-cellulosic insoluble fibers (SSKa fraction) were mainly composed by a pectic arabinan, a xylan-xyloglucan complex and a glucuronoxylan. The oral pre-treatment with SWa and SSKa promoted antinociception in mice writhing test, reducing the number of pain-like behaviors (in 84.2 % and 46.9 %, respectively, at 10 mg/kg) and peritoneal leucocyte migration (55.4 % and 59.1 %, at 10 mg/kg), effects possibly associated with the pectins present in fruit pulp extractions. SWa also significantly inhibited the plasmatic extravasation of Evans blue dye in 39.6 % at 10 mg/kg. This paper describes for the first time the structural features of soursop dietary fibers that may be of biological significance in future.

Abstract
Liquidambar styraciflua L. is an aromatic species, popularly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diarrhea, dysentery, coughs, and skin sores. The present study was designed to investigate the chemical composition and biological potential of extracts obtained from the fruits of this plant. For the chemical evaluation, it was used mainly liquid and gas chromatography, plus NMR, and colorimetric methods. The aqueous extract (EA) originated two other fractions: an aqueous (P-EA) and an ethanolic (S-EA). The three extracts were composed of proteins, phenolic compounds, and carbohydrates in different proportions. The analyses showed that the polysaccharide extract (P-EA) contained pectic polysaccharides, such as acetylated and methyl esterified homogalacturonans together with arabinogalactan, while the fraction S-EA presented phenolic acids and terpenes such as gallic acid, protocathecuic acid, liquidambaric acid, combretastatin, and atractyloside A. EA, P-EA, and S-EA showed antioxidant activity, with IC50 values of 4.64 µg/mL, 16.45 µg/mL, and 3.67 µg/mL, respectively. The cytotoxicity followed the sequence S-EA > EA > P-EA, demonstrating that the toxic compounds were separated from the non-toxic ones by ethanol precipitation. While the fraction S-EA is very toxic to any cell line, the fraction P-EA is a promising candidate for studies against cancer due to its high toxicity to tumoral cells and low toxicity to normal cells.

Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14235067.

Abstract
During the thermal processing of dairy products, the Maillard reaction occurs between milk proteins and lactose, resulting in the formation of various products including glycated proteins. In this study, lactose-glycated casein was generated through the Maillard reaction between casein and lactose and then hydrolyzed by a trypsin preparation. The anti-inflammatory effect of the resultant glycated casein hydrolysate (GCH) was investigated using the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-sitmulated rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells as a cell model and corresponding casein hydrolysate (CH) as a control. The results indicated that the preformed glycation enabled lactose conjugation to casein, which endowed GCH with a lactose content of 12.61 g/kg protein together with a lower activity than CH to enhance the viability value of the IEC-6 cells. The cells with LPS stimulation showed significant inflammatory responses, while a pre-treatment of the cells with GCH before LPS stimulation consistently led to a decreased secretion of three pro-inflammatory mediators, namely, IL-6, IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) but an increased secretion of two anti-inflammatory mediators, including IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), demonstrating the anti-inflammatory potential of GCH in LPS-stimulated cells. In addition, GCH up-regulated the expression of TLR4, p-p38, and p-p65 proteins in the stimulated cells, resulting in the suppression of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways. Collectively, GCH was mostly less efficient than CH to exert these assessed anti-inflammatory activities in the cells and more importantly, GCH also showed an ability to cause cell inflammation by promoting IL-6 secretion and up-regulating the expression of TLR4 and p-p65. The casein lactose-glycation of the Maillard-type was thereby concluded to attenuate the anti-inflammatory potential of the resultant casein hydrolysate. It is highlighted that the casein lactose-glycation of the Maillard-type might cause a negative impact on the bioactivity of casein in the intestine, because the glycated casein after digestion could release GCH with reduced anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
Galectin-3 is the only chimeric representative of the galectin family. Although galectin-3 has ubiquitous regulatory and physiological effects, there is a great number of pathological environments where galectin-3 cooperatively participates. Pectin is composed of different chemical structures, such as homogalacturonans, rhamnogalacturonans, and side chains. The study of pectin's major structural aspects is fundamental to predicting the impact of pectin on human health, especially regarding distinct molecular modulation. One of the explored pectin's biological activities is the possible galectin-3 protein regulation. The present review focuses on revealing the structure/function relationship of pectins, their fragments, and their biological effects. The discussion highlighted by this review shows different effects described within in vitro and in vivo experimental models, with interesting and sometimes contradictory results, especially regarding galectin-3 interaction. The review demonstrates that pectins are promissory food-derived molecules for different bioactive functions. However, galectin-3 inhibition by pectin had been stated in literature before, although it is not a fully understood, experimentally convincing, and commonly agreed issue. It is demonstrated that more studies focusing on structural analysis and its relation to the observed beneficial effects, as well as substantial propositions of cause and effect alongside robust data, are needed for different pectin molecules' interactions with galectin-3.

Abstract
The numerous health benefits of pectins justify their inclusion in human diets and biomedical products. This review provides an overview of pectin extraction and modification methods, their physico-chemical characteristics, health-promoting properties, and pharmaceutical/biomedical applications. Pectins, as readily available and versatile biomolecules, can be tailored to possess specific functionalities for food, pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, through judicious selection of appropriate extraction and modification technologies/processes based on green chemistry principles. Pectin's structural and physicochemical characteristics dictate their effects on digestion and bioavailability of nutrients, as well as health-promoting properties including anticancer, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, intestinal microflora-regulating, immune barrier-strengthening, hypercholesterolemia-/arteriosclerosis-preventing, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, antitussive, analgesic, anticoagulant, and wound healing effects. HG, RG-I, RG-II, molecular weight, side chain pattern, and degrees of methylation, acetylation, amidation and branching are critical structural elements responsible for optimizing these health benefits. The physicochemical characteristics, health functionalities, biocompatibility and biodegradability of pectins enable the construction of pectin-based composites with distinct properties for targeted applications in bioactive/drug delivery, edible films/coatings, nano-/micro-encapsulation, wound dressings and biological tissue engineering. Achieving beneficial synergies among the green extraction and modification processes during pectin production, and between pectin and other composite components in biomedical products, should be key foci for future research.

Xu H, Wang Y, Ding S, Zhou H, Jiang L, Wang R. Effect of hydrothermal-calcium chloride treatment on pectin characteristics and related quality in green peppers during storage. JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2021; 58:3712-3724. [PMID: 34471295 PMCID: PMC8357889 DOI: 10.1007/s13197-020-04829-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Revised: 09/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
Effects of hydrothermal (HT)-calcium chloride (CaCl2) treatment on pectin characteristics and related quality in green peppers during storage were assessed. The results showed that the changes of physicochemical quality in all green peppers were similar during storage. Weight loss percentage increased, firmness, the content of free water and bound water decreased during storage. Water-soluble pectin (WSP) notably increased, but sodium carbonate-soluble pectin (SSP) and chelate-soluble pectin (CSP) decreased. Galacturonic acid (GalUA), rhamnose (Rha), galactose (Gal), and arabinose (Ara) were the crucial compositions in the backbone and branched chains of pectin in green peppers. Rha and Gal increased, but Ara decreased in pectin after storage. The changes in the ratio of Rha/GalUA, Ara/Gal, and (Gal + Ara)/Rha represented that the backbone and branched chains of pectin in green peppers depolymerized to some extent after storage. Comparing with other green peppers, HT-CaCl2 treated green peppers posed lower weight loss percentage and WSP content, higher firmness, the content of free water, bound water, SSP, and CSP during storage. Otherwise, most pectin compositions in HT-CaCl2 treated green peppers showed high molar ratio after storage. Hence, HT-CaCl2 treatment was an effective way to retain pectin characteristics and related quality of green peppers, and further inhibited the softening of green peppers during storage.

Abstract
Currently, the high added-value compounds contained in plant by-products and wastes offer a wide spectrum of opportunities for their reuse and valorization, contributing to the circular economy. The bell pepper (Capsicum annum L.) is an exotic vegetable with high nutritional value that, after processing, leaves wastes (peel, seeds, and leaves) that represent desirable raw material for obtaining phytochemical compounds. This review summarizes and discusses the relevant information on the phytochemical profile of bell peppers and their related biological properties as an alternative to revalorize losses and wastes from bell peppers for their application in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Bell pepper fruits, seeds, and leaves contain bioactive compounds (phenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, tocopherol, and pectic polysaccharides) that exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, immunosuppressive and immunostimulant properties, and antidiabetic, antitumoral and neuroprotective activities, and have a potential use as functional food additives. In this context, the revalorization of food waste is positioned as a technological and innovative research area with beneficial effects for the population, the economy, and the environment. Further studies are required to guarantee the safety use of these compounds and to understand their mechanisms of action.

Abstract
We isolated and purified a pectin from Portulaca oleracea L. (P. oleracea), and analysed its structure by high-performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and 1H, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The data indicated that this pectin (designated as POPW-HG) was a linear non-esterified homogalacturonan, which is unique in plants; its molecular weight was around 41.2 kDa. Meanwhile, POPW-HG as an adjuvant was evaluated in the mice immunized with OVA subcutaneously. OVA-specific antibody titres from the sera of immunized mice were tested by ELISA. It showed that POPW-HG significantly enhanced OVA-specific antibody titres (IgG, IgG1, and IgG2b) (p < 0.05) in a dose-dependent manner in the OVA-immunized mice, preliminarily indicating POPW-HG could increase an antibody response, Th1 and Th2 immune response. In addition, the ratio of IgG1/IgG2b suggested POPW-HG induced a Th2-biased response in the OVA-immunized mice. The results demonstrated POPW-HG could be a potential adjuvant candidate in vaccines.

Abstract
Barks of trees of the genus Handroanthus are known for their antitumor activity, which is attributed to naphthoquinones. Another class of molecules that has shown antitumor activity are the polysaccharides, however those from Handroanthus barks have never been studied. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to extract polysaccharides from H. heptaphyllus and H. albus barks, to characterize them structurally and to evaluate their cytotoxic effects on the human colon and human breast cancer cell lines, Caco-2 and MCF-7, respectively. The polysaccharides were extracted with boiling water and fractionated by freeze-thawing process. The soluble polysaccharide fractions HHBSF and HABSF were characterized by monosaccharide composition, methylation and NMR analyses, and their effects on proliferation of Caco-2 and MCF-7 cells were evaluated using MTT cell viability assay. HHBSF and HABSF were mainly constituted of galactoglucomannan, type II arabinogalactan (AGII) and type I rhamnogalacturonan (RGI), however, only HABSF significantly inhibited the growth of MCF-7 (CC50 = 327 μg/mL) and Caco-2 (CC50 = 2258 μg/mL) cells. Differences in the fine structure and proportion of their polysaccharides, and maybe in the composition of associated phenolic compounds could explain the different effects of HHBSF and HABSF.

Abstract
Handroanthus albus, commonly known as yellow ipê, is a native and widely distributed tree in Brazil. An aqueous soluble polysaccharide fraction (HASP) was obtained from its leaves, and monosaccharide composition, glycosidic linkage analysis by methylation and NMR spectroscopy indicated that HASP is mainly composed of a type II arabinogalactan, and suggested that other polysaccharides could also be present in a smaller proportion. HASP was able to promote antinociception in formalin-induced (second phase) and on glutamate-induced nociception tests, besides reducing the number of abdominal contortions induced by acetic acid in mice. Moreover, HASP reduced acetic acid-induced leukocyte infiltration in the peritoneal cavity and showed anti-edematogenic activity, decreasing mechanical allodynia and myeloperoxidase activity in the carrageenan-induced paw edema model. These results showed that the polysaccharide fraction HASP from H. albus leaves has interesting antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
The overuse of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in agricultural products has gradually increased in recent years, resulting in hazardous effects on food safety and human health. For the first time, a sensitive, accurate, and low-cost analytical method involving improved solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography was developed to determine trace PGRs in cherry tomatoes. Thereafter, the extraction mechanism and conditions were elucidated. Under optimized conditions, good linearity (0.04-400 ng g-1; r ≥ 0.9996) and lower limits of detection (0.005-0.006 ng g-1) were observed. The recoveries were 81.4-90.1%, with relative standard deviations of ≤6.7% (three levels). Finally, the developed method was successfully used to detect trace PGRs in cherry tomatoes. The results illustrated that this sensitive method shows great potential for application to monitor trace PGRs in agricultural products and, thus, provide technical support for food safety and public health.

Abstract
Guavira is a plant that belongs to Myrtaceae family, being widespread in the Brazilian Cerrado. In this study, pectic and hemicellulosic polysaccharides from guavira pomace, an agroindustry residue from pulp production, were structurally characterized using GPC, monosaccharide composition, methylation and NMR experiments. The absolute configurations of monosaccharides and the nature of uronic acids were attributed according to numerous data on the composition of related plant arabinogalactans and hemicelluloses present in the literature. An arabinan was purified, presenting Ara (85.0%), Rha (3.3%), Gal (7.7%) and GalA (4.0%). Mono and bidimensional NMR analyses of this arabinan demonstrated the presence of terminal β-L-Araf units, whose occurrence has been scarcely reported in the literature. Hemicellulosic fraction contained a glucuronoxylan, with α-D-GlcpA/4-O-methyl-α-D-GlcpA group linked to O-2 of a (1 → 4)-β-D-xylan, presenting one uronic acid residue for every six xylose units. These findings about guavira pomace polysaccharides could contribute to develop future nutraceutical and technological uses for this industrial waste.

Abstract
The pectins were isolated from sterile stems of E. arvense (EA, yield 5.9%) and E. sylvaticum (ES, yield 4.8%) (Equisetaceae) using ammonium oxalate extraction after preliminary treatment with dilute HCl (рH 4.0). The pectins possessed high molecular weight (Mw, 340-360 kDa), high GalA content (ca. 85%), low degrees of methyl-esterification (14-16%) and acetylation (3-8%). NMR analysis indicated extensive regions of partially methyl-etherified and 3-O-acetylated HG and minor regions of low branched RG in the fragment isolated after hydrolysis of pectin EA by pectinase. Pectin EA produced a higher viscosity solution, formed a stronger and more rigid ionotropic hydrogel than pectin ES. The pectins scavenged DPPH and hydroxyl radicals, but not the superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide. Phenolic compounds (0.11 and 0.23%) associated with polysaccharide moieties were apparently responsible for the differences in the anti-DPPH scavenging activity of pectins EA and ES (63 and 49%). The findings suggested that pectin from E. arvense should be more perspective than pectin from E. sylvaticum on their use as components of wound healing remedies.

Abstract
A polysaccharide from Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst. named ARP, was obtained and purified by the hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation and deproteinization of TCA. The molecular weight of the polysaccharide fraction of ARP was calculated to be 1.23 × 104 Da from a calibration curve obtained with dextran standards. Monosaccharide composition analysis revealed that ARP was composed of Gal, Ara, Glu, Man, Rha and Fuc at a molar ratio of 53.8:21.3:11.7:6.8:4.3:2.2. Methylation analysis suggested that ARP was likely an arabinogalactan and that its backbone mainly consisted of Galp residues of 1,6‑linkages and Ara residues of 1,5‑ or 1,3‑linkages. The in vitro experiment indicated that ARP enhanced B- and T-lymphocyte proliferation. A dose-dependent relationship was observed, and a dose of 200 μg/mL resulted in the highest cell viability. In addition, ARP significantly stimulated the production of the cytokine, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and enhanced B- and T-lymphocyte proliferation. Meanwhile, ARP had little effect on interleukin-2 (IL-2) production. The experiments of the effect of ARP on the activation of macrophage in vitro indicated that ARP significantly enhanced the production of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β which suggested the polysaccharide induced the functional activation of macrophage.

Abstract
Three polysaccharide fractions were isolated from blackberry wine. The crude extract BWPs was obtained with ethanol precipitation and freeze-thawing process, it was then submitted to Fehling treatment, giving soluble BWPFs and insoluble BWPFp fractions. These fractions were characterized by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Major polysaccharides were identified for each fraction: mannan, type II arabinogalactan and type I rhamnogalacturonan for BWPs, a mannan formed by a major chain of α-Manp(1 → 6)-linked units, O-2 substituted with α-d-Manp(1 → 2)-linked side chains for BWPFp and a AG II formed by a major chain of β-d-Galp(1 → 3)-linked, substituted at O-6 by side chains of the β-d-Galp(1 → 6)-linked, which then are substituted at O-3 by non-reducing units of α-l-Araf and a RG I, formed by [→4)-α-d-GalpA-(1 → 2)-α-l-Rhap-(1→]n for BWPFs. Anti-inflammatory effects of polysaccharide fractions were evaluated in RAW 264.7 cells. Fractions markedly reduced nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokine production (TNF-α and IL-1β) in LPS-treated cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transformation of hot pepper residues to value-added products with concomitant benefits on environmental pollution would be of great value to capsicum oleoresin manufacturers. Pectin, a soluble dietary fiber with multiple functions, from hot pepper residues was investigated in this study. RESULTS The extraction of hot pepper pectin using hydrochloric acid was first optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The most efficient parameters for maximum hot pepper pectin yield (14.63%, dry basis) were a pH of 1.0, a temperature of 90 °C, an extraction time of 2 h and a liquid-to-solid ratio of 20 L g-1 . The pectin was mainly composed of uronic acids, and the major neutral sugars were galactose and glucose. The structure of hot pepper pectin was characterized by homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan I elements. The physicochemical properties of hot pepper pectin extracted by sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid were further investigated. The content of protein and degree of esterification in hot pepper pectin extracted with sulfuric acid solution (SP) were higher (P < 0.05) than those in that extracted with hydrochloric acid solution (HP), while the mean molecular weight of SP was lower than that of HP. Compared with HP, SP exhibited higher viscosity and better emulsifying property. CONCLUSION Based on the yield and physicochemical properties of hot pepper pectin, hot pepper residues would be a new source to obtain pectin, and SP would be more preferred than HP. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In this study, crude Cortex Periplocae polysaccharides (CCPPs) were extracted with water. CCPPs were decolored with AB-8 resin and deproteinated using papain-Sevage methods. Then, they were further purified and separated through DEAE-52 anion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography, respectively. Three main fractions—CPP1, CPP2, and CPP3, (CPPs)—were obtained. The average molecular weights, monosaccharide analysis, surface morphology, and chemical compositions of the CPPs were investigated by high-performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS), UV-vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In addition, the antioxidant activities of these three polysaccharides were investigated. The results indicated that all of the CPPs were composed of rhamnose, arabinose, mannose, glucose, and galactose. These three polysaccharides exhibited antioxidant activities in four assays including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical, reducing power, and total antioxidant activity in vitro. The data indicated that these three polysaccharides could be utilized as potential natural sources of alternative additives in the functional food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
Pectin, a water-soluble dietary fiber, has been found to improve survival in endotoxin shock. However, the underlying mechanism by which pectin exerts its protective effect against endotoxin shock remains unknown. Apart from its prebiotic effects, it has been suggested that pectin directly affects immune cells to regulate inflammatory responses. In this study, we investigated the direct effect of pectin in murine model of endotoxin shock. Citrus pectin solution was administered to male C57BL/6 mice for 10 days. Thereafter, hypothermia was induced in the mice with intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The pectin-treated mice showed attenuation of both the decrease in rectal temperature and increase in serum IL-6 level as compared to vehicle control mice. Simultaneously, the pectin-treated mice showed reduced levels of inflammatory cytokine mRNA in Peyer's patches and mesenteric lymph nodes, but not in the spleen. Peyer's patch cells from the pectin-treated mice were sorted and their levels of IL-6 production on LPS stimulation were measured. The results of ex vivo analysis indicated that IL-6 secretion from CD11c+ cells was suppressed by oral administration of pectin. Furthermore, IL-6 secretion from Toll-like receptor (TLR)-activated RAW264.7 cells was suppressed by pretreatment with pectin in vitro. This suppression was observed even with degraded pectin pretreatment but not with polygalacturonic acid, as the principal constituent of the pectin backbone. Taken together, these results suggest that pectin intake suppresses TLR-induced inflammatory cytokine expression in Peyer's patch myeloid cells, presumably through inhibition of TLR signaling by the pectin side chains.

Abstract
Polysaccharides were extracted from sweet pepper (Capsicum annum) with hot water and named ANW (9% yield). Starch was precipitated by freeze-thaw treatment, while pectic polysaccharides (8% yield) remained soluble and consisted of GalA (67.0%), Rha (1.6%), Ara (6.4%), Xyl (0.3%), Gal (6.7%) and Glc (4.4%). A highly methoxylated homogalacturonan (HG, degree of methylesterification of 85% and degree of acetylation of 5%), and type I and type II arabinogalactans (AG-I and AG-II) were observed in NMR analyses. These were fractionated with Fehling's solution to give HG (5.5% yield) and AG fractions (0.6% yield). AG-I and AG-II were further separated by ultrafiltration. AG-II (0.2% yield) consisted of Ara (17.1%), Gal (36.0%), Rha (5.6%) and GalA (12.0%), had a molecular weight of 5.3×104g/mol and methylation and 1H/13C HSQC-DEPT-NMR analyses showed that it was anchored in type I rhamnogalacturonan. This is the first study that reports the presence of AG-I and AG-II in sweet pepper fruits.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are substances that modify the biological response to several stressors. The present study investigated the antitumor activity of the soluble fraction of polysaccharides (SFP), extracted from cabernet franc red wine, in Walker-256 tumor-bearing rats. The monosaccharide composition had a complex mixture, suggesting the presence of arabinoglactans, mannans, and pectins. Treatment with SFP (30 and 60mg/kg, oral) for 14days significantly reduced the tumor weight and volume compared with controls. Treatment with 60mg/kg SFP reduced blood monocytes and neutrophils, reduced the tumor activity of N-acetylglucosaminidase, myeloperoxidase, and nitric oxide, increased blood lymphocytes, and increased the levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in tumor tissue. Treatment with SFP also induced the expression of the cell necroptosis-related genes Rip1 and Rip3. The antineoplastic effect of SFP appears to be attributable to its action on the immune system by controlling the tumor microenvironment and stimulating TNF-α production, which may trigger the necroptosis pathway.

Abstract
SCOPE Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical acute abdominal disease. The intestinal injury associated with AP will aggravate the condition retroactively. This study investigates whether the low-methoxyl pectin (LMP) isolated from lemon could attenuate AP and associated intestinal injury. METHODS AND RESULTS Experimental AP was induced in BALB/c mice by caerulien (CAE) hyperstimulation. Nutritional prophylactic group was pre-fed with 5% LMP supplemented forage 3 days before AP induction. We found that LMP supplementation attenuated the severity of AP as evidenced by reduced serum amylase and lipase levels, pancreatic edema and myeloperoxidase activity. The protective effect was also confirmed by histological examination of pancreatic damage. LMP suppressed the production of pancreatic proinflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Moreover, LMP supplementation restored AP-associated disruption of intestinal barrier integrity as evidenced by upregulation of tight junction modulatory proteins occludin, zonula occludens (ZO)-1, antimicrobial peptides β-defensin-1 (DEFB1) and CRAMP as well as increase in SCFAs production. LMP supplemented mice with AP exhibited suppressed intestinal inflammation as shown by decreased ileal and colon cytokine production compared with CAE group. CONCLUSION Our results support dietary LMP supplementation as an effective nutritional intervention for AP and associated intestinal injury.
