Question
- What is basic
polymer structure of pectin?
- Why is pectin highly soluble?
- What are the 2 physical changes that occur with methylation of the GalA?
- What is the effect of the a(1-2)-linked L-rhamnose unit on the polymer structure?
- Explain why pectin can form gel with Ca ion but not with Na ion?
- Explain the formation of pectin gel with Ca using the “Egg Box” junction zones model?
- What are the features of pectin that would enhance its gelling property with Ca?
- The extent of methylation defines pectin into low methoxy and high methoxy pectins
- Why low methoxy pectin gel with calcium but not at high temperature?
- Why high methoxy pectins pectin does not required calcium to gel and the gel is stronger at high temperature?
