Table 6.
Monosaccharide composition (mol %) of hydrocolloid extracted from tamarillo puree (THwater).
| Monosaccharide | Composition (mol%) a |
|---|---|
| Mannose | Tr b |
| Ribose | tr |
| Rhamnose | tr |
| Glucuronic acid | 0 |
| Galacturonic acid | 0.98 ± 0.28 |
| Glucose | 7.05 ± 0.21 |
| Galactose | 51.63 ± 0.97 |
| Xylose | tr |
| Arabinose | 38.80 ± 0.69 |
| Fucose | 0 |
Each value is expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3) of triplicate analysis. a mol% = (amount of individual monosaccharide/total amount of monosaccharide present in the sample) × 100; b tr: Traces < 0.01 mol%.
