Fig. 3 Three-dimensional response surface show<strong>in</strong>g the amount <strong>of</strong><br />

released dry matter [yield,% (w/w)] as function <strong>of</strong> a PL1 [% (w/w)<br />

Fiber from destarched versus from crude potato pulp<br />

Extended treatment <strong>of</strong> crude and destarched potato pulp for<br />

up to 1 h under m<strong>in</strong>imal conditions neither <strong>in</strong>crease nor<br />

decrease the yield <strong>of</strong> released fibers; neither did the yield <strong>of</strong><br />

dry matter released dur<strong>in</strong>g extended treatment without<br />

addition <strong>of</strong> enzyme change (data not shown). Incubation<br />

<strong>of</strong> crude and destarched potato pulp with Viscozyme® L (as<br />

described by Meyer et al. 2009) released significantly less<br />

dry matter than <strong>in</strong>cubation with the optimal procedure (data<br />

not shown).<br />

Characterization <strong>of</strong> the released fibers<br />

Monosaccharide composition <strong>of</strong> released fibers<br />

The monosaccharide composition <strong>in</strong> the samples DNE,<br />

CNE, DPP, CPP, and CPP>100 (Table 4) were generally<br />

similar, conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g approximately 55–66% galactose, 9–<br />

10% arab<strong>in</strong>ose, and 1.3–1.7% rhamnose, but with some<br />

variation <strong>in</strong> the glucose levels (Table 5). In contrast, the<br />

ma<strong>in</strong> component <strong>in</strong> CPP10–100 was galacturonic acid<br />

(47.7±5.6%), but the rhamnose level was approximately<br />

the same as <strong>in</strong> the other fibers (1.4±0.1%; Table 5). No<br />

fucose or xylose was detected <strong>in</strong> any <strong>of</strong> the fiber samples.<br />

Molecular size <strong>of</strong> released fibers<br />

Size exclusion chromatograms <strong>of</strong> the DNE showed that the<br />

majority <strong>of</strong> the released dry matter had a molecular mass <strong>of</strong><br />

approximately 0.4 and 1.0 kDa (Fig. 5). A limited part <strong>of</strong><br />

the sample was made up <strong>of</strong> molecules hav<strong>in</strong>g a higher<br />

molecular mass. A similar chromatogram was obta<strong>in</strong>ed for<br />

CNE (data not shown). The chromatogram for CPP<br />

conta<strong>in</strong>ed four ma<strong>in</strong> peaks: 0.4, 1.0, 4.8, and >400 kDa.<br />

A similar chromatogram was obta<strong>in</strong>ed for DPP (data not<br />

shown). The molecular mass <strong>of</strong> CPP10–100 was 5.4 kDa<br />

at the highest po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> molecular mass distributed almost<br />

equally on each side <strong>of</strong> the chromatogram top po<strong>in</strong>t.<br />

Furthermore, there was a m<strong>in</strong>or peak at molecular mass<br />

<strong>of</strong> around 0.4 kDa (Fig. 5). In CPP>100, the majority <strong>of</strong><br />

the dry matter had molecular mass>110 kDa with<br />

maximum >400 kDa (Fig. 5).
