    In order to investigate the polarografic determination of ascorbic acid (AsA) and other reductones in tomato products, a comparison of the polarograms of the condensate of dehydroascorbic acid (DAsA) or other reductones with o-phenylenediamine (o-PDA) was carried out.
    AsA content in tomato products was able to determine without any significant interference of other reductones. And it was possible to determine relative content of other reductones from the wave height at the different potential from DAsA-o-PDA potential.
    Decrease of AsA and increase of other reductones in their amount were accompanied by browning of tomato products.

    Mechanism of esterification of alcohol using banana pulp disks was investigated. The alcohols, mainly iso-amyl, alcohl were added to the disks in the form of solution (infiltration method) or vapor. Conversion of isoamyl alcohol to acetate was not observed with mature-green banana while it occurred sharply in the course of ripening of fruits. The conversion was supposed to be enzymatic reaction, and some inhibitors (monoiodoacetate, sodium azide), N2 atmosphere, soaking in water depressed the rate of esterification considerably. When banana pulp was homogenized, the reaction stopped and, on the contrary, iso-amyl acetate added was hydrolized rapidly. The addition of ATP and CoA did not show any effect on esterifiication, while the addition of acetic acid immediatly increased iso-amyl acetate production. Rapid esterification of added alcohol vapors (C3 iso-C4, C4, iso-C5, C5) took place on pulp disks.

    Similarity of carotenoid pattern was compared among various kinds of citrus peels. There were four typical carotenoid patterns.
    The pattern of citrus peel greatly depends on the content of monol and diol-diepoxide carotenoids. Some peels contained unknown carotenoid which characterized bright red colour.
    Typical four carotenoid patterns are as follows; monol predominant "Yatsushiro type", ; dioldiepoxide predominant "Valencia orange type", ; monol and diol-diepoxide predominant "Unshiu type", and unknown carotenoid predominant "Cleopatra type".
    The relation between the carotenoid pattern and the morphological classification of citrus fruit was discussed. Most of the morphologically same citrus fruit were found to show the same carotenoid pattern.
    The carotenoid pattern will be one of the subsidiary methods for the classification of citrus fruit.

  • Part V. On the accelerating factor for the clarification in Hirotake (Tramates sanguina) cellulase preparation

    In the previous paper, it was reported that a fraction free from polygalacturonase and pectinesterase activities in a commercial cellulase preparation from Hirotake contained an accelerating factor for the clarification.
    In this paper, more detailed investigation was carried out to obtain the following results. (a) An accelerating factor for the clarification existed in an acid and thermo-stable hemicellulase fraction. (b) An accelerating effect was not seen for active parts of hydrocellulase and carboxymethyl cellulase. (c) An accelerating effect for clarification was seen in a xylanase active part of hemicellulase, but its detailed role was not revealed.

    The unknown carotenoid group existing in amount of 20% or more and contributing to the bright red color of the Unshiu var. Benidobashi peel have been examined. The unknown craotenoid group occurred between the monol monoepoxid and diol on the TLC, was seperated into three carotenoids of UL, U2 and U3 in order of non-polarity. All threse carotenoids showed orange to pink color on the TLC and U1, U2 and U3 were present in the ratio of 60.0%, 28.8% and 11.2% respectively.
    Every unkown carotenoids had one of hydroxy group in β-ionone ring and one of aldehyde group in chromophoric double bonds system. The properies of these unknown carotenoids were compared with unusual citrus carotenoids and ketonic carotenoids such as semi-β-carotenone, capsanthin, capsorubin, reticulataxanthin and citraurin. Investigations of spectral absorption maximum, shape of spectral absorption curve, NaBH4 reduction on aldehyde group and changes of polarity with methylation resulted in that U1 was considered as citraurin or citraurin-like carotenoid, U2 was identical to the reticulataxanthin and U3 was the cis-from of U1.

    The alkali-treatment of Onikusa (Gelidium japonicum) and Makusa (Gelidium amansii) and preparation of agar from these seaweeds were carried out under various conditions.
    Yield and total SO3 of agar and jelly strength and melting point of agar gel were measured. Furthermore, the agar components, agarose and agaropectin were separated by treatment with sodium iodide.
