Description Pectic polysaccharides extracted from fruit tissue of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana
L) at different maturity levels were fractionated and analyzed for galacturonic acid backbone molecules.
Preharvest spray of the fruits at 7 days old with ethephon resulted in a higher accumulation of water-soluble
and oxalate-soluble pectic fractions than non-treated fruits, while this treatment effectively enhanced the
polygalacturonase enzyme activity necessary for maintenance of pectin degradation. Treatment with
ethephon not only enhanced the solubilization rate but also resulted in a net increase in total pectic
polymer content in developing cape gooseberry fruits.
