The effect of high pressure homogenization on pectin: Importance of pectin source and pH KU Leuven
Pectin is a common, heterogeneous, and structurally complex polysaccharide present in plant cell walls that is naturally present in staple foods and commonly used in the food and biomedical industry. Pectin is known to be sensitive to process induced chemical changes that can result in various effects on its functionality. This worked aimed at better understanding the effects of high pressure homogenization (HPH), an emerging technology that can ...
