Salicornia neei halophyte extends in Argentina seashores. To envisage potential applications, cell wall sequential extraction performed on dry plant yielded 1.1, 2.4, 0.3 and 0.9% of pectin fractions respectively extracted by room temperature water, 90 °C-water, CDTA and NaCO. They contained 21-33% uronic acids (UA) with low degree of methylation and 0.5-1.2 M ratios of neutral sugars to UA. High arabinose level suggests that long arabinan side-chains maintain cell wall flexibility in water deficit. Fractions also contained 10-36% of proteins. The KOH-soluble fractions (4.3%) were mainly arabinoxylans. At 2.0% w/v, pectin fractions developed "weak gel"-type networks with Ca, while arabinoxylans generated "dilute solutions". Cellulose (28%) and lignin (45.1%) were the main biopolymers in the final residue, which showed low water swelling capacity (3.6 mL/g) due to lignin, increasing when arabinoxylans were also present. Phenolics (9.8%) were mainly water-extractable. Salicornia is a source of biopolymers and antioxidants potentially useful for food applications.
盐角草是一种生长在阿根廷沿海的盐生植物。为了研究其潜在的应用,对干燥植物的细胞壁进行了连续提取,分别用室温水、90°C 水、CDTA 和 NaCO 提取了 1.1%、2.4%、0.3%和 0.9%的果胶级分。它们含有 21-33%的低甲氧基化程度的糖醛酸(UA)和 0.5-1.2 M 的中性糖与 UA 的摩尔比。高阿拉伯糖水平表明,长阿拉伯聚糖侧链在水分亏缺下保持细胞壁的柔韧性。级分还含有 10-36%的蛋白质。KOH 可溶级分(4.3%)主要是阿拉伯木聚糖。在 2.0% w/v 时,果胶级分与 Ca 形成“弱凝胶”型网络,而阿拉伯木聚糖则形成“稀溶液”。纤维素(28%)和木质素(45.1%)是最终残渣中的主要生物聚合物,由于木质素的存在,其水膨胀能力较低(3.6 mL/g),当阿拉伯木聚糖也存在时,其水膨胀能力增加。酚类(9.8%)主要是可水提的。盐角草是生物聚合物和抗氧化剂的来源,可能对食品应用有用。
