Food Supplements Citrus Pectin and Apple Pectin Powder
Pectin is a kind of polysaccharide, which is more stable in acidic solution than in alkaline solution. It is usually divided into high-ester pectin and low-ester pectin according to its degree of esterification. High-ester pectin forms an irreversible gel in the range of soluble sugar content≥60% and pH=2.6~3.4. Part of the methyl ester of low-ester pectin is converted into primary amide, which is not affected by sugar and acid, but needs to be combined with divalent ions such as calcium and magnesium to form a gel | ![]() |
