Product Description

Product Description

Pectin is a polysaccharide that is naturally present in most land plants, although commercial pectin is primarily extracted from citrus peel and apple pomace. Pectin consists mainly galacturonic acid units. The galacturonic acid molecules can be esterified with methanol. According to the degree of esterification(DE), pectin is classified into high methoxyl pectin(HM) with a degree of esterification higher than 50% and low methoxyl pectin with a degree of esterification less than50%(LM). When ammonia is applied in the alkaline de-esterification process, some of ester groups have been replaced by amide group. Therefore, LM pectin is divided into low methoxyl convertional(LMC) and low methoxyl amidated(LMA)
