Enzymatic hydrolysis of sugar-beet pulp, and subsequent isolation of feruloylated oligosaccharides, has shown that ferulic acid groups are ester-linked mainly on O-2 of arabinose residues and on O-6 of galactose residues in the pectin side-chains. After saponiücation of sugar-beet pulp enzymatic dig

✦ Synopsis
The actions of ammonium persulfate on (feruloylated) sugar-beet pectins and ferulate have been studied by spectrophotometry, viscometry, 'H-n.m.r. spectroscopy, and gel-permeation chromatography. The reactions followed a pseudo-firstorder law with respect to pectin and ferulate, whereas the order with respect to ammonium persulfate was unity for pectins and varied from 0.5 to >2 for ferulate. The rate constants mainly varied with the pH of the reaction mixture and there was an optimum at 3.8-5.7 for the gelation of the pectins. The results ruled out a simple condensation process between two ferulates (or feruloyl residues linked to the pectins) and suggested a free-radical polymerisation reaction.
