The role of water distribution, cell wall polysaccharides, and microstructure on radish ( Raphanus sativus L.) textural properties during dry-salting process.
Food chemistry: X. 2024 June 31
Radish ( Raphanus sativus L.) undergoes texture changes in their phy-chemical properties during the long-term dry-salting process. In our study, we found that during the 60-day salting period, the hardness and crispness of radish decreased significantly. In further investigation, we observed that the collaborative action of pectin methylesterase (PME) and polygalacturonase (PG) significantly decreased the total pectin, alkali-soluble pectin (ASP), and chelator-soluble pectin (CSP) content, while increasing the water-soluble pectin (WSP) content. Furthermore, the elevated activities of cellulase and hemicellulase directly led to the notable fragmentation of cellulose and hemicellulose. The above reactions jointly induced the depolymerization and degradation of cell wall polysaccharides, resulting in an enlargement of intercellular spaces and shrinkage of the cell wall, which ultimately led to a reduction in the hardness and crispness of the salted radish. This study provided key insights and guidance for better maintaining textural properties during the dry-salting process of radish.
