This research aimed to evaluate the gelation process of ferulated pectin (FP) and ferulated arabinoxylan (AXF) in a new mixed hydrogel and determine its microstructural characteristics. FP from sugar beet () and arabinoxylan from maize () bran were gelled via oxidative coupling using laccase as a crosslinking agent. The dynamic oscillatory rheology of the mixed hydrogel revealed a maximum storage modulus of 768 Pa after 60 min. The scanning electron microscopy images showed that mixed hydrogels possess a microstructure of imperfect honeycomb. The ferulic acid content of the mixed hydrogel was 3.73 mg/g, and ferulic acid dimer 8-5' was the most abundant. The presence of a trimer was also detected. This study reports the distribution and concentration of ferulic acid dimers, and the rheological and microstructural properties of a mixed hydrogel based on FP and AXF, which has promising features as a new covalent biopolymeric material.
本研究旨在评估新型混合水凝胶中阿魏酸酯化果胶(FP)和阿魏酸酯化阿拉伯木聚糖(AXF)的凝胶化过程,并确定其微观结构特征。以甜菜中的FP和玉米麸皮中的阿拉伯木聚糖为原料,使用漆酶作为交联剂通过氧化偶联使其凝胶化。混合水凝胶的动态振荡流变学显示,60分钟后储能模量最大值为768 Pa。扫描电子显微镜图像表明,混合水凝胶具有不完美蜂窝状的微观结构。混合水凝胶中阿魏酸含量为3.73 mg/g,其中阿魏酸二聚体8-5'含量最高,同时也检测到了三聚体的存在。本研究报道了阿魏酸二聚体的分布和浓度,以及基于FP和AXF的混合水凝胶的流变学和微观结构特性,该混合水凝胶作为一种新型共价生物聚合物材料具有良好的特性。
