Application

Pectin from citrus peel has been used:in the comparative study of physicochemical, rheological and gelling properties of pectin among different extraction methodin starch suspension for measuring in vitro starch digestibilityto measure pectinase activityin the production of pectinase on solid medium

Biochem/physiol Actions

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.

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.

General description

Pectin is a polysaccharide is rich in galacturonic acid and possesses a complex structure and function.
