文摘
The present study aimed at analyzing the structural features of seed mucilage and cell-wall polysaccharides which accounted for 41 % of the mass of flax meal (FM). A combination of high molar-mass mucilage-like polysaccharides (rhamnogalacturonan and arabinoxylan) was released from FM in water, together with arabinogalactan proteins and glucans. About half of FM homogalacturonans was extracted using a calcium chelator and boiling water. Hemicellulosic xyloglucans and xylans were further extracted with 1 M KOH, in ¡«13 % FM-sugars yield. Structural characterization of the xyloglucan using specific enzyme hydrolysis, ion exchange chromatography (HPAEC) and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectroscopy showed the presence of XXXG type xyloglucan, but also that of XXGG-structure, possibly characteristic of flax seeds. Hydrolysis of xylans with endo-(1 ¡ú 4)-¦Â-d-xylanase, and analysis of the neutral and acidic oligosaccharides by MALDI-TOF-MS showed that xylan consisted of ¦Â-(1 ¡ú 4)-linked-d-xylopyranose backbone with some zones (DP 5-7) substituted with 4-O-MeGlcA\GlcA\Glc residues.
