Pectin and its Hypothetical Precursor, “Protopectin.”

A Review on Pectin: Chemistry due to General Properties of Pectin and its Pharmaceutical Uses

Introduction Pectin is a naturally occurring biopolymer that is finding increasing applications in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. It has been used successfully for many years in the food and beverage industry as a thickening agent, a gelling agent and a colloidal stabilizer. Pectin has been widely studied and published but is difficult to characterize as a model system due to th...

Chemistry of Pectin and Its Pharmaceutical Uses : A Review

Pectin, a naturally occurring polysaccharide, has in recent years gained increasingly in importance. The benefits of natural pectin are also more and more appreciated by scientists and consumer due to its biodegradability. Pectin is the methylated ester of polygalacturonic acid. It is commercially extracted from citrus peels and apple pomace under mildly acidic conditions. Pectins are divided i...

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticle by zinc acetate precursor and study on its catalytic properties

ZnO nanoparticles have been prepared by a simple method in a short period of time. In this synthetic method, the sample was obtained using Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O and a new template of hexamine salt. Their crystalline structure and morphology were studied by XRD and SEM. The optical properties of the sample were studied by UV–visible spectroscopy. The absorption spectr...
