Abstract
Water-soluble and hot water-soluble pectic fractions, extracted from alcohol insoluble solid (AIS) of fruit flesh of eight cultivars of Asian pear, acted as antioxidants against ascorbic acid oxidation, while HCl-soluble pectic fractions showed no effect.
The activity was higher in hot water-soluble fractions than water-soluble fractions.
Pectins from apples and lemons demonstrated antioxidant activity, according to the concentration, and temperature.
Pectins with a lower degree of esterification showed higher activity compared with those with a higher degree of esterification.
These fractions showed antioxidant activity in linoleic acid oxidation.
Free radical scavenging activity on DPPH was higher in hot water-soluble fractions than in water-soluble fractions.
Oxidation of ascorbic acid by CuSO4 was prevented by the addition of the hot water soluble fraction.
