The effect of frozen storage time on the composition
of the cell wall polysaccharide (CWP) of muskmelon (Cucumis
melo) cultivars at different stages of maturity was investigated.
Changes in composition, firmness, drip loss, and
color of Cantaloupe and Honey Dew melon flesh were determined
at three stages of maturity and...
The total and soluble nonstarch polysaccharide (NSP)
components of raw, processed (canned and frozen) and home-cooked
(boiled) Royal Chantenay carrots have been analyzed.
NSP fractions were characterized by separation and summation
of the monosaccharides resulting from acid hydrolysis of the
parent polysaccharides. Total NSP was primarily composed of
glucose, ~37%,...
The bacteriophage receptor of lactococci was found on the cell
walls. A carbohydrate analysis of the cell walls from phage-resistant
mutants of L. lactis subsp. cremoris KR with reductions in phage binding
indicated that a loss of galactose correlated with a loss in binding
and infection of all phage tested:...
