General description
Pectin is a polysaccharide is rich in galacturonic acid and possesses a complex structure and function.
Application
Pectin from citrus peel has been used:
- in the comparative study of physicochemical, rheological and gelling properties of pectin among different extraction method
- in starch suspension for measuring in vitro starch digestibility
- to measure pectinase activity
- in the production of pectinase on solid medium
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pectin is essential for plant development including growth, morphological changes and immunity. It serves as a stabilizing polymer and is useful in food and speciality products.
Pectin, a heterosaccharide component of terrestrial plant cell walls, is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterized pectinase(s). Pectin is used to study its degradation by pectinolytic bacteria.
