Abstract
The hairy regions of lemon pectins from both albedo and juice were isolated and further characterised. Pectic hairy regions and the so called modified hairy regions represent high molecular weight fragments of rhamnogalacturonans with varying amounts of arabinose- and/or galactose-rich side chains. Similarities have been found for lemon pectin side chains when compared to the type of specific pectic structures stated as necessary for bioactivity. Following this approach, the potential bioactivity of pectic hairy regions of lemon fruits is discussed.
