Evaluation of gelation properties of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) waste pectin

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2021
The gelation properties of pectin from jackfruit waste were investigated and compared with those of analytical and commercial grade pectin gels. Gels produced from jackfruit waste pectins with various concentrations of sucrose (45%–60%), pectin (0.5% and

Determining Methyl-Esterification Patterns in Plant-Derived Homogalacturonan Pectins

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
Homogalacturonan (HG)-type pectins are nutrient components in plants and are widely used in the food industry. The methyl-esterification pattern is a crucial structural parameter used to assess HG pectins in terms of their nutraceutical activity.

Thermally induced degradation of citrus pectins during storage – Alterations in molecular structure, colour and thermal analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Commercial citrus pectins (17 samples from 3 different suppliers) were stored at 60 °C and 80% humidity for two weeks. Molecular parameters (galacturonan content, degree of methoxylation, intrinsic viscosity), colour and behaviour in thermal analysis ...

Degradation of different pectins by fungi: correlations and contrasts between the pectinolytic enzyme sets identified in genomes and the growth on pectins of different origin

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Pectins are diverse and very complex biomolecules and their structure depends on the plant species and tissue. It was previously shown that derivatives of pectic polymers and oligosaccharides from pectins have positive effects on human health.
