Abstract:
<p>This paper analyzes fifteen common fruits in northernChina,such as five varieties of apples, pears, peaches, and melons,as well as three varietiesof grapes, for non-digestible polysaccharides (NDPS) content. Through the use of the acid hydrolysis-GC method, the results show that the total polysaccharides (TPS)content of the fruits ranges from 0.08%(grape) to 1.30% (kiwi fruit). Furthermore,the content of water-soluble polysaccharides (SPS) in TPSrange from 17.7%(kiwi) to 86.3% (peach). The content of non-digestible polysaccharides (NDPS)in the various fruits is also significantly different.</p>
