Characterisation of fiber obtained from pumpkin (cucumis moschata duch.) mesocarp through enzymatic treatment

Cell wall-enriched pumpkin (Cucumis moschata Duch.) powder was submitted to enzymatic hydrolysis by cellulase or hemicellulase in order to evaluate the performance of these cell wall-degrading enzymes on that substrate. Different enzyme-substrate ratios were evaluated and the effect exerted by the b...

Enzymatic hydrolysis as well as buffer extraction produced fiber-products with an important thickening effect of aqueous systems.
