Biomechanics of isolated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit cuticles : the role of the cutin matrix and polysaccharides

The mechanical characteristics of the cuticular membrane (CM), a complex composite biopolymer basically composed of a cutin matrix, waxes, and hydrolysable polysaccharides, have been described previously. The biomechanical behaviour and quantitative contribution of cutin and polysaccharides have bee...
