Résumé
A polysaccharide (PFPP) from purple passion fruit peel was optimally extracted, with the highest yield (10.05%, w/w) obtained under 35 °C extraction temperature, 240 W ultrasonic power, 65:1 mL/g liquid-to-solid ratio, 0.6% (w/v) ammonium oxalate, 30 min extraction time and pH 2.0. According to composition analyses, pectic PFPP and its fractions (PFPP-10, -15 and -20) were revealed as linear homogalacturonans interrupted by rhamnogalacturonan I in different lengths and extensities, where low esterification degrees (35.35-39.66%) were indicated via FT-IR. Furthermore, based on macromolecular models, comprehensive analyses on macromolecular and conformational characterizations of PFPP fractions were conducted quantitatively through, e.g., shape factor (1.42-1.79), Mark-Houwink-Sakurada exponent (0.55-0.74), conformational power-law exponent (0.52-0.58), fractal dimension (1.72-1.94) and persistence length (6.73-13.47 nm). Therefore, different semi-flexible coil conformations were proposed schematically, where lower molecular-weight PFPP fractions were less flexible. This could provide a molecular basis for precise re-utilizations of PFPP in food and pharmaceutical industries.
