The chemical structure of pea pectin was delineated using pectin-degrading enzymes and biochemical methods. The molecular weight of the pea pectin preparation was 488,000, with 50 % arabinose content, and neutral sugar side chains attached to approximately 60 % of the rhamnose residues in rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I). Arabinan, an RG-I side chain, was highly branched, and the main chain was comprised of α-1,5-l-arabinan. Galactose and galactooligosaccharides were attached to approximately 35 % of the rhamnose residues in RG-I. Long chain β-1,4-galactan was also present. The xylose substitution rate in xylogalacturonan (XGA) was 63 %. The molar ratio of RG-I/homogalacturonan (HG)/XGA in the backbone of the pea pectin was approximately 3:3:4. When considering neutral sugar side chain content (arabinose, galactose, and xylose), the molar ratio of RG-I/HG/XGA regions in the pea pectin was 7:1:2. These data will help understand the properties of pea pectin.

The instability of citral greatly limits its application in food field. This study aimed to develop a safe and green emulsifier-stabilized nanoemulsion (NE) to encapsulate citral for exerting its activities. A series of NEs were prepared using varying proportions (1:2 and 1:3) of sulfonated cellulose nanocrystalline- (CNC-C) and pea protein isolate- (PPI) mixture as emulsifier to encapsulate citral with different content (1 %, 2 %, and 3 %), and their stability, antioxidant and antibacterial activities were evaluated to identify the optimal system.

Saffron extract (SE) was electrospun into pullulan-pectin (Pl-Pc), pullulan-pea protein-pectin (Pl-Pp-Pc), or zein nanofibers (NFs) for transdermal food supplement. The in vitro transdermal permeation mechanism and kinetics of SE from NFs were studied and compared with those of in vitro digestion. The ATR-FTIR spectra of NFs provided information on the interactions between SE and wall biopolymers.

In recent years, the wine industry has shifted towards plant-based fining agents for food safety reasons and consumer preferences. This study analysed the interaction of five plant fibers with red wine phenolic compounds to determinate their performance as fining agents. Chemical composition, polysaccharide profile, and physical properties were examined.

Potato oxidized hydroxypropyl starch (POHS)/pectin (P) functional and smart beef freshness indicator films were prepared using butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) anthocyanin (BA) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). BA exhibited significant pH-responsive color changes. BA and AgNPs were evenly distributed within a polymer matrix to create a compatible film with POHS/P.
