The Arabinan test kit is suitable for the measurement and analysis of Arabinan in fruit juice concentrates.
Advantages
UV-method for the determination of Arabinan in plant
materials and juices
Principle:
(endo-arabinanase + α-L-arabinofuranosidase)
(1) Arabinan + H2O → L-arabinose
(galactose mutarotase)
(2) α-L-Arabinose ↔ β-L-arabinose
(β-galactose dehydrogenase)
(3) β-L-Arabinose + NAD+ → L-arabinonic acid + NADH + H+
Kit size: 100 assays
Method: Spectrophotometric at 340 nm
Reaction time: ~ 10 min
Detection limit: 1.3 mg/L
Application examples:
Fruit juices and other materials
Method recognition: Novel method
The pH of the assay solution after the sample is added should be the same as that of the assay buffer that is supplied with the kit.
Low sample volumes (e.g. 0.1 mL) are not likely to affect the pH of the assay solution and therefore may not require pH adjustment.
Samples above 0.1 mL are more likely to affect the pH of the assay solution and therefore the pH of these samples should be adjusted as described in the data booklet, prior to addition to the assay.
Sugar Beet Arabinan – this is a polymer of 1,5-α-L-linked arabinofuranose units which is highly substituted by 1,3- and (1-2) linked single a-L-arabinofuranose residues. About 50% of 1,5 linked arabinosyl residues in the main chain are substituted by 1,3 or 1,2 linked arabinofuranosyl branches.
Rye/Wheat Arabinoxylan – These simply are composed of 1,4-β-D-linked xylan main chains (about 500-1000 residues); substituted by α-L-arabinofuranosyl residues linked 1,3-α or 1,2-α. They differ in the extent of substitution by α-L-arabinofuranose. They also contain some ferulic acid residues (linked to arabinose).
If you suspect that the Megazyme test kit is not performing as expected such that expected results are not obtained please do the following:
The molecular weight is approximately 15,000 daltons based on HPLC on Fractogel TSK G4000 PN.
