PhD Defense of NASTARAN KHODAEI, DEPARTMENT OF FOOD SCIENCE AND AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) pulp rich in pectic polysaccharides is an abundant by-product of the starch and potato processing industry. The main component of potato pectic polysaccharides is rhamnogalacturonan I (RG I, 72% w/w), which contains a high proportion of 尾-linked galactan side chains (67% w/w). Given the structural properties of potato pectic polysaccharides, they can serve as a new source of bioactive molecules and prebiotics. Conventional alkaline (NaOH and KOH), enzymatic (Aspergillus niger endo-polygalacturonase) and microwave-assisted alkaline (KOH) processes were investigated for the isolation of galactan-rich RG I from potato cell wall.
