![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Calcium effect on mechanical properties of model cell walls and apple tissue Calcium effect on mechanical properties of model cell walls and apple tissue](/preview/png/223667.png)
Bacterial cellulose alone, with pectin added and with both pectin and xyloglucan added were produced as models for plant cell walls. The artificial cell wall materials and natural apple tissue were treated with calcium and then subjected to tests of mechanical properties; a tension test for the artificial cell wall materials and a compression test for the apple tissue. It was found that pectin and xyloglucan had a significant effect on the mechanical properties of artificial cell wall materials, making them more extensible. A high concentration of calcium increased the failure strain and decreased the failure stress of these materials. Treatment of apple tissue with calcium had similar effects on the failure stress and the secant modulus, whereas the differences of failure strain and work to failure resulted in behaviour different from that of the artificial material.
