Background: Ultrasonic pretreatment is a novel physical method that can be used in the extraction process of okra pectin. Real-time online monitoring technologies were introduced in time and frequency domains when okra was pretreated. Preparation time of dried okra and yield of okra pectin were studied; and physicochemical properties of okra pectin were analyzed at the optimum ultrasonic parameter.
Results: Results showed that ultrasonic intensity of sweeping-frequency ultrasonic (SFU) pretreatment was stronger than that of fixed-frequency ultrasonic pretreatment (FFU). SFU pretreatment (60 ± 1 kHz) at 30 min had a strong ultrasonic voltage peak of 0.05387 V and signal power peak of -6.62 dBm. The preparation time of dried okra was 160 ± 14.14 min in the pretreated group, 44.83% lower than control without SFU pretreatment. The intercellular space was 56.03% higher than control. Water diffusion coefficient increased from 1.41 × 10 to 2.14 × 10 m s . Monobasic quadratic equations were developed for the monitored ultrasonic intensity and pectin yield. Compared to control, extraction yield (16.70%), pectin content (0.564 mg mg ), solubility (0.8187 g g ) and gel strength (30.91 g) were improved in the pretreated group. Viscosity decreased, and values of G' and G″ crossing at 63 rad s revealed the viscoelastic behavior and the beginning of viscous behavior with a sol state.
Conclusion: Decrement of dried preparation time and increment of yield were achieved by ultrasonic pretreatment during the extraction process of okra pectin, and the relationship of ultrasonic intensity monitored by real-time online technologies and yield was given. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

In this study, we focused on reducing the molecular weight of purified red okra pectin using various hydrolytic enzymes and evaluating its physicochemical properties or characterization. The enzyme treatments targeted both the main pectin chain and the side-chain sugars, resulting in a reduction in the molecular weight by approximately 10% (from 647 kDa) to 60% (down to 252 kDa). Both the purified red okra pectin and enzyme-treated pectins exhibited a homogalacturonan (HG)-type backbone.

Background: Okra contains a viscous substance rich in water-soluble material, including fibers, pectin, proteoglycans, gum, and polysaccharides. This study explored the use of okra polysaccharides by microorganisms and their potential to improve microbiota.
Methods: The regulation of microcapsules prepared from okra polysaccharides with or without encapsulation on intestinal microbiota was assessed through 16S metagenomic analysis and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in App mice (Alzheimer's disease; AD model).

Green and efficient metal corrosion inhibitors are very essential, and natural okra pectin (OP) can fulfill this need with rational use of resources. OP was prepared by water-alcohol extraction method after freeze-thaw pretreatment (FTP)/sweeping frequency ultrasound pretreatment (SFUP), and used for corrosion inhibition of ANSI 304 stainless steel (304 SS) in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl). The molecular weight, hydrodynamic diameter and monosaccharide composition of OP were analyzed to determine the factors on the corrosion inhibition of 304 SS.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment on okra pod stored at 4 ± 1°C for 12 days and illuminate the mechanism of MeJA alleviating chilling injury. Compared to the control, MeJA treatments maintained lower relative electric conductivity (REC), chilling injury (CI) degree, and lignin content, as well as higher total soluble solids, total soluble sugar, pectin content, and chlorophyll content.
