摘要
Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum, Schumann) is a Brazilian Amazonian fruit whose pulp contains volatile compounds that have been extensively studied. In this work, the pulp from fruits of cupuassu was ground, treated with MeOH-H2O, and defatted with p-Tol-EtOH. The residue (4% in relation to the fresh pulp) was submitted to sequential extractions with water, aqueous citric acid and aqueous NaOH, resulting in polysaccharide fractions with 0.3-15% yield. The main pectic fraction (7% yield) was obtained with water at 25 degrees C (W-1 fraction) and was chosen to be better characterized. Chemical and spectroscopic analyses showed that W-1 is composed mainly of a homogalacturonan highly esterified (DE 53%; DA 1.7%) with some rhamnogalacturonan insertions, carrying side chains containing galactose and arabinose.
