Plant Cell Walls and Food Quality

Waldron, K.W., Parker, M.L., Smith, A.C.·2003·Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety

Abstract

Plant cell walls constitute the key structural components of plants and many plant‐based foods. They are well known for contributing to a range of “quality” characteristics, from organoleptic texture to the properties of dietary fiber. Much of the research on cell walls has focused on the physiological aspects of plant growth and development with the belief that this route holds the key to controlling quality characteristics. In addition, consideration of quality has often been determined by what is easily measurable. This review assesses critically the role of plant cell walls in relation to the ultimate determinant of quality – the consumer, but within a whole food‐chain context. We conclude that effective exploitation of cell‐wall research in relation to optimizing quality requires an integrated approach taking into account the multi‐functional roles of plant cell walls, and the diversity of consumer‐related quality dimensions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
