摘要:
A process is described wherein there is added to an acidic environment, which contains at least one protein, a block-wise enzymatically de-esterified pectin, and wherein the pectin is a high ester pectin. Also described is a recombinant pectin methyl esterase.
摘要:
A composition suitable for use as a foodstuff or in the preparation of a foodstuff is described. The composition comprises a pectin methyl esterase ('PME'); a first PME substrate; and a second PME substrate; wherein neither the first PME substrate nor the second PME substrate originates in situ from the other.
摘要:
A process for modifying a pectin comprising providing a host having PME activity and PG activity; transforming said host by silencing PG activity thereby to provide an increased PME to PG ratio; preparing a PME extract from the transformed host; using the PME extract to modify pectin.

摘要:
A method of reducing the level of a specific reducing sugar in an organism capable of enzymatically degrading amylopectin or amylose is described. A preferred method comprises at least partially inhibiting the activity of α-amylase in the organism.
