Abstract:
:Citrus pectins with degrees of methylation between 30 and 72% were carefully characterized in order to determine their charge density and molecular weight distribution, the content in galacturonic acid and in neutral sugars, the degree of methylation and acetylation. Using enzymic degradation it has been found that pectin molecules consist mainly of long homogalacturonan regions with some regions of neutral sugars as side chains attached on rhamnose residues. The viscometric behaviour of the different samples indicates that 0.1 M NaCl, at 25 degrees C, is a good solvent of sodium pectinates. From the evolution of the Huggins parameter, it appears that pectins with 50% of methylated galacturonic groups exhibit a maximum flexibility. A Mark-Houwink exponent of 0.8 has been found in good agreement with theoretical predictions for flexible polymers in a good solvent.
