Pectins and Olive Pectins: From Biotechnology to Human Health
Biology, 2021 Pectins are a component of the complex heteropolysaccharide mixture present in the cell wall of higher plants. Structurally, the pectin backbone includes galacturonic acid to which neutral sugars are attached, resulting in functional regions in which the

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.

SOME VEGETABLE AND FRUIT WASTES AS ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF USED PECTIN IN JELLIES AND JAMS PREPARATION [PDF]
Journal of Food and Dairy Sciences, 2003 This study was conducted to evaluate some fresh and dried vegetable and fruit wastes for their pectins. Three different extraction methods of pectins were used. The effect of extsacted pectins on jemes and jams characteristics was also stUdied.

Pectin Methylesterases and Pectin Dynamics in Pollen Tubes [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2005 Pectic polysaccharides are an essential component of the primary plant cell wall. They are particularly prominent in pollen tubes, where they control the structure and yielding characteristics of the cell wall at the growing apex of these rapidly expanding cells. The properties of pectin meshworks,

Evaluation of the Carbohydrate Composition of Crabapple Fruit Tissues Native to Northern Asia
Plants, 2023 A comprehensive comparative analysis of the carbohydrate composition (soluble sugars and pectins) of fruit tissues of Malus baccata, Malus mandshurica, Malus chamardabanica, and Malus sachalinensis, characteristic of the vast territory of Eastern Siberia

Pectin Conformation in Solution [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2018 The interplay of degree of methylesterification (DM), pH, temperature, and concentration on the macromolecular interactions of pectin in solution has been explored. Small-angle X-ray scattering complemented by atomic force microscopy and molecular dynamics was employed to probe chain dimensions and solution structure.
