Firming of fruit tissues by vacuum-infusion of pectin methylesterase: Visualisation of enzyme action.

Abstract:

:Apple pieces were vacuum-impregnated with either a pectin methylesterase (PME) and calcium solution or with water prior to pasteurization. Pasteurized apple pieces impregnated with PME and calcium showed a significantly higher firmness. Moreover, solid state (13)C NMR spectroscopy of apple cell wall residues revealed an increase of their molecular rigidity. Exogenous PME addition involved a decrease from 82% to 45% of apple pectin degree of methyl-esterification. Microscopic observations of apple slices immunolabelled with antibodies specific for pectins showed that (i) demethyl-esterification was more intense in the cell wall region lining intercellular spaces (demonstrating a key role for these intercellular channels in the enzyme penetration in the tissue during vacuum-infusion) and that (ii) the number of calcium-dimerized deesterified homogalacturonan chains increased. The results corroborate the hypothesis that vacuum-impregnated PME action liberates free carboxyl groups along pectin chains that could interact with calcium, increasing the rigidity of pectins and finally the mechanical rigidity of apple tissue.
