Kiwifruit, a climacteric-fruit susceptible to rapid deterioration, attains considerable value upon transformation into kiwifruit wine, thereby increasing its added value. However, a noteworthy challenge arises from its high pectin content, which negatively affects byproduct quality, necessitating pectinase treatment during processing. Commercial pectinases exhibit heightened pectin esterase activity, giving rise to safety apprehensions due to augmented methanol content during kiwifruit pectin hydrolysis. In this study, Bacillus velezensis W17-6 was screened for its high pectinase activity coupled with low pectin esterase activity. The resultant crude pectinase named PBV was acquired through fed-batch-fermentation and partial purification. Subsequently, PBV was deployed in the fermentation of Xuxiang kiwifruit wine, and its impact on overall quality was assessed through diverse analyses. The results indicated that Xuxiang kiwifruit wine with PBV treatment outperformed counterparts treated with commercial pectinases. PBV treatment not only yielded superior clarity (83.75% ± 0.47%) and juice yield (81.60% ± 0.47%) but also increased the total flavonoids content in Xuxiang kiwifruit wine by 1.2 times compared to commercial pectinase. Notably, the methanol content of PBV-treated Xuxiang kiwifruit wine was significantly lower at 36.13 ± 1.83 mg/L than that of wines treated with two commercial pectinases. PBV-treated kiwifruit wine also exhibited elevated concentrations of volatile compounds such as phenethyl alcohol, ethyl undecanoate, lauric aldehyde, isobutyric acid, and myrcene. Impressively, PBV-treated kiwifruit wine surpassed other wines in both electronic and artificial sensory analyses. In summary, PBV exhibits substantial potential in the production of low-methanol, high-quality kiwifruit wine, enhancing the flavor and nutritional value while minimizing methanol production and improving the safety profile.
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs), as a novel separation medium s , have in recent years attracted wide consideration in capillary electrochromatography (CEC). However, the instability of frameworks limited the application of the MOF-based chiral separation capillary. Herein, Iron-based γ-cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (Fe-CD-MOF) with mesoporous was developed as the chiral stationary phase in open tubular capillary electrochromatography column (OT-CEC) for the stereoisomer separation of fourteen chiral drugs and one chiral alcohol. The capillary column with MOF coating exhibited the best performance (resolution value: 17.07) for anisodamine in any MOF-based capillary column that has never been reported. Moreover, the effect of pH, buffer concentration, and methanol content has been investigated. The novel coated capillary was also applied for the quantitative analysis of a real sample. The Fe-CD-MOF coated capillary showed outstanding repeatability and stability, with the satisfactory relative standard deviations (RSDs) for intra-day, inter-day, and column-to-column. Finally, the enantioseparation mechanism of the Fe-CD-MOF coated capillary was evaluated by adsorption kinetic experiments. In summary, this work indicated the novel and renewable Fe-CD-MOF was a potential chiral stationary phase in CEC chiral separation.
