Abstract
ABSTRACTHeparin chromatography of a dialysis supernatant fraction from total salt extractable proteins of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb. var. Valencia fruit peel (flavedo plus albedo) resolved four peaks of pectinmethylesterase activity (PME 1–4). One of these was thermally tolerant (PME 3). Binding to concanavalin A suggested PME 3 was a glycoprotein. At 30°C and 5 U ‐ mL1 PME 1, 2 and 3 destabilized the cloud of pasteurized FCOJ within 10 days. PME 1 caused the most rapid cloud loss (3d), followed by PME 3 and PME 2. PME 4 had no effect on juice cloud during this time period. At 4°C PME 3 caused the most rapid cloud loss (3d), followed by PME 1 (14d) and PME 2 (>14d). PME 4 had no effect on juice cloud stability after 10 days at 30°C or 14 days at 4°C.
