Method for the Production and Characterization of Tomato Cutin Oligomers
A series of oligomeric fragments can be obtained by partial alkaline hydrolysis of cutin. The oligomers obtained from tomato cutin were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and the major products were characterized as linear dimeric esters of omega,8-, omega,9-, and o...

Zusammenfassung: | A series of oligomeric fragments can be obtained by partial alkaline hydrolysis of cutin. The oligomers obtained from tomato cutin were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and the major products were characterized as linear dimeric esters of omega,8-, omega,9-, and omega,10-dihydroxyhexadecanoic acids, the major monomers of tomato cutin. Analysis of the products obtained from tomato cutin by treatment with cutinase suggests an exo mode of depolymerization for this enzyme |
