Product Description

 

Product Parameters

Name	Polygalacturonate/Pectin
Chemical Name	Polygalacturonic acid (the main component of pectin), and pectin is a complex polysaccharide composed of galacturonic acid and other sugar units.
Molecular Formula	The general formula for polygalacturonic acid is (C6H8O6)n, where n represents the degree of polymerization. Pectin has a more complex structure and its molecular formula can be expressed as a combination of various sugar units.
Molecular Weight	Varies widely depending on the source and degree of polymerization. Generally, the molecular weight of pectin ranges from 10,000 to 400,000 Da.
Physical Properties	Pectin is usually a white to light - yellow powder. It is odorless or has a faint odor. It is soluble in water to form a viscous solution, but insoluble in most organic solvents.
Chemical Properties	Pectin is a weak acid due to the presence of carboxyl groups in the galacturonic acid units. It can form gels under certain conditions, such as in the presence of appropriate amounts of sugar and acid. The degree of esterification of pectin affects its gel - forming properties and other chemical behaviors.
Source	Pectin is widely distributed in the cell walls of plants, especially abundant in fruits such as apples, citrus, and berries, as well as in some vegetables and root crops. It can be extracted from these plant materials by various methods.
Main Applications	In the food industry, it is used as a gelling agent, thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in products such as jams, jellies, dairy products, and bakery items. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used in the formulation of tablets as a binder and in some drug delivery systems. It also has applications in the cosmetic industry for its thickening and stabilizing properties.
Storage Conditions	Should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage conditions help maintain its quality and stability.

 

 

 

Product Description

Food Industry

• Gelling Agent: Pectin is widely used in the production of jams and jellies. It forms a gel - like structure when combined with sugar and acid under appropriate conditions, giving these products their characteristic texture and consistency. In the manufacturing of fruit - filled pastries and candies, pectin helps to hold the fruit filling in place and provides a firm yet smooth texture.
• Thickener and Stabilizer: It is added to dairy products such as yogurt and ice cream. In yogurt, pectin helps to improve the viscosity and stability, preventing syneresis (the separation of liquid from the gel). In ice cream, it enhances the texture, inhibits ice crystal growth, and improves the melting resistance. Pectin is also used in salad dressings and sauces to increase viscosity, improve stability, and prevent phase separation.
• Emulsifier: Pectin can act as an emulsifier in some food products. For example, in fruit - flavored beverages, it helps to stabilize the emulsion of flavor oils and other hydrophobic components in the aqueous phase, improving the appearance and shelf - life of the product.

Pharmaceutical Industry

• Tablet Binder: Pectin is used in the formulation of tablets. It helps to bind the active pharmaceutical ingredients and other excipients together, improving the compressibility and integrity of the tablets. This ensures that the tablets remain intact during handling and storage and release the drug in a controlled manner.
• Drug Delivery System: Pectin - based matrices and microspheres are being investigated for drug delivery applications. Due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability, pectin can be used to encapsulate drugs and release them in a sustained - release manner. This is particularly useful for drugs that require a slow and continuous release over an extended period to maintain therapeutic levels in the body.

Cosmetic Industry

• Thickener and Stabilizer: In cosmetics, pectin is used to thicken and stabilize various formulations such as creams, lotions, and gels. It provides a smooth and creamy texture to the products, making them easier to apply and enhancing the user experience. Additionally, pectin helps to prevent the separation of different components in cosmetic formulations, improving their stability and shelf - life.
• Film - Forming Agent: Pectin can form a thin, flexible film on the skin or hair. In hair care products, it can be used to improve the manageability and shine of hair by forming a protective film. In skin care products, the film - forming property of pectin can help to retain moisture and provide a barrier against environmental factors.

Other Applications

• Textile Industry: Pectin is used in textile printing and dyeing processes. It can be used as a thickener for printing pastes, helping to control the flow and penetration of dyes on the fabric surface, resulting in sharper prints and better color fixation.
• Paper Industry: In the paper industry, pectin can be used as a surface - sizing agent. It improves the surface properties of paper, such as smoothness and water resistance, enhancing the printability and quality of the paper.
