Chemical, Molecular, and Structural Characterization of Alkali Extractable Nonstarch Polysaccharides from Job’s Tears
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The polished Job's tears ( Coix lachryma-jobi L.) seeds, dark and white husk types, were sequentially extracted by hot water (75 degrees C) and 0.5 M NaOH solution. Nonstarch polysaccharides were not found in the water extract but were present in the alkali extract. The major components of the alkali extract from both Job's tears were protein, ash, and nonstarch polysaccharides, mainly arabinoxylans. The high arabinose to xylose ratio of 1.25 and 1.24 indicated a highly substituted structure. The average molecular weight (MW) of arabinoxylans of the dark and white husk types were 741,000 Da (Pd 1.5) and 1,449,000 Da (Pd 2.6), respectively, and their average MW reduced after treatment with protease. The alkali extractable arabinoxylans were elucidated to have a (1,4)-linked beta- d-xylan main chain highly substituted with single arabinose units. The results showed that the alpha- l-arabinofuranosyl residues (Ara f) were attached to the main chain mostly at O-3, followed by both O-2 and O-3 of xylopyranosyl residues (Xyl p).

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
