Calcium binding and calcium-induced gelation of normal low-methoxyl pectin modified by low molecular-weight polyuronate fraction

Nakauma, Makoto; Funami, Takahiro; Fang, Yapeng; Nishinari, Katsuyoshi; Draget, Kurt Ingar; Phillips, Glyn O. (Journal article, 2017)

Functions of low molecular-weight polyuronate fractions in the calcium binding and calcium-induced gelation of normal low-methoxyl pectin (LMP) were investigated. The fractions from pectin with two different degrees of ...
Modulation of calcium-induced gelation of pectin by oligoguluronate as compared to alginate

Zhang, Bangheng; Hu, Bing; Nakauma, Makoto; Funami, Takahiro; Nishinari, Katsuyoshi; Draget, Kurt Ingar; Phillips, Glyn O.; Fang, Yapeng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)

Previous studies have demonstrated that oligoguluronate (guluronate block extracted from alginate, GB) was an efficient modulator of the gelation and gelling properties of macromolecular alginate in the presence of calcium. ...
