Abstract:
:Endosperm was isolated from Arabica Caturra coffee beans 11, 15, 21, 26, 31 and 37 weeks after flowering, and the chemical composition and relative solubility of its component polysaccharides determined at each growth stage. Chemical analysis of the total mannan content of the cell wall material was done after solubilisation of galactomannans by alkaline extraction of the cell wall material followed by enzymatic digestion of the alkali-insoluble residue with a mixture of endo-mannanse and endo-glucanase. Eleven weeks after flowering, galactomannans accounted for approximately 10% of the polysaccharides but were highly substituted, with galactose/mannose ratios between 1:2 and 1:7. As the bean matured, galactomannan became the predominant polysaccharide, until 31 weeks after flowering it accounted for approximately 50% of the polysaccharides. However, it was less substituted, possessing galactose/mannose ratios between 1:7 and 1:40. Early in bean growth, up to 50% of the cell wall polysaccharides were extractable but as the galactomannan content of the bean increased there was a reduction in the extractability of all polysaccharides. The decrease in the galactose/mannose ratio of the galactomannans commenced between 21 and 26 weeks after flowering and was in synchrony with a rise in the concentration of free galactose in the beans. The results indicated that the degree of substitution of the galactomannans in coffee beans is developmentally regulated and may result, in part, from the modification of a primary synthetic product by the action of an alpha-galactosidase.
