Structural properties and adsorption capacities of Mesona chinensis Benth residues dietary fiber prepared by cellulase treatment assisted by Aspergillus niger or Trichoderma reesei

The effects of enzyme hydrolysis treatment, Aspergillus niger fermentation treatment, Trichoderma reesei fermentation treatment, Aspergillus niger-enzyme hydrolysis treatment and Trichoderma reesei-enzyme hydrolysis treatment on structural properties and adsorption capacities of soluble dietary fiber from Mesona chinensis Benth residues were evaluated and compared. The Aspergillus niger-enzyme hydrolysis treatment sample possessed more diverse structure, lower crystallinity and thermal stability than other modified samples. Meanwhile, it also observed the highest soluble dietary fiber yield (20.76 ± 0.31 %), water-holding capacity and glucose adsorption capacity (38.03 ± 0.28 mg/g). The Aspergillus niger fermentation treatment sample generated a high oil-holding capacity, nitrite ion adsorption capacity (181.84 ± 6.67 ug/g), cholesterol adsorption capacity (16.40 ± 0.37 mg/g) and sodium cholate adsorption capacity (94.80 ± 1.41 mg/g). Additionally, different monosaccharide composition was exhibited due to diverse extraction methods. Our finding revealed that these two modification methods could effectively enhance the economic value of Mesona chinensis Benth residues.
