Article Synopsis
- Low methyl-esterified pectin (AU701) can form gel beads with glycerol that have similar properties to those made with calcium (Ca).
- The dry AU701-glycerol gel beads have a rough, grooved surface and can absorb significantly more water than the AU701-Ca gel beads.
- The properties of the AU701-glycerol gel beads improve with higher pectin/glycerol ratios, showing better swelling in simulated gastric fluid and higher stability in simulated intestinal fluid compared to the Ca cross-linked beads.
Pectin hydrogel particles (PHPs) were prepared by ionotropic gelation of low methylesterified pectin of Tanacetum vulgare L. with calcium ions. Wet PHPs prepared from TVF exhibited a smaller diameter and the lower weight as well as exhibited the best textural properties in terms of hardness and elasticity compared to the PHPs prepared from commercial low methylesterified pectin (CU701) used for comparison.
