Pectin degradation accounts for apple tissue fragmentation during thermomechanical-mediated puree production

Résumé

The relationship between fruit and puree's characteristics is still poorly understood. In particular, it is not understood how pectin solubilisation and degradation alter the texture of plant-cell dispersions and how a targeted application of processing conditions can be used to design naturally textured food products. Systematic combinations of thermal and mechanical treatments with three different temperatures (70, 83, 95 degrees C) and grinding speeds (300, 1000, 3000 rpm), applied on one-month (T1) and six-months stored (T6) apples, were used to generate apple purees with contrasted structural and textural characteristics. For T1, serum viscosity increased with increasing temperature (8-104 mPa.s) with a marked increase in pectin solubilisation (1-6 mg/g serum). Pectin macromolecular size and (arabinose + galactose)/rhamnose ratio, estimating pectin side chain branching, decreased with temperature. For T6, pectin showed decreased galactose, leading to facilitated cell separation, low serum viscosity (similar to 16 mPa.s) and restricted impact of process conditions on pectin composition and structure. Grinding had limited impact on pectin solubilisation for T1 and T6 but strongly impacted particle size (498-1096 mu m for T1 or 320-1068 mu m for T6) and puree's viscosity (871-1475 mPa.s for T1 or 853-1453 mPa.s for T6). Tissue fragmentation was favoured by temperature increase for T1 and by the maturation of raw apples. Process parameters induced differences in the puree's structure and texture depending on the maturation level of raw apples. The observed changes were linked to pectin degradation and substantial side chain loss.
