The functionalisation of fruit and vegetable cell wall material as texturizing agent: The role of pectin depletion and particle size reduction techniques KU Leuven
Background: Substantial amounts of cell wall material (CWM) emerge as a side stream from the fruit and vegetable processing industry. From a sustainability, human health and economic viewpoint, the development of potential routes to valorise these streams in human food products is highly relevant. While pectin is already used in many food and non-food applications, recently, research is devoted to the potential use of the residual material as ...
