The three-dimensional structure of Aspergillus niger pectin lyase B (PLB) has been determined by crystallographic techniques at a resolution of 1.7 Å. The model, with all 359 amino acids and 339 water ...

Pectin is a main component of the plant cell wall and is the most complex family of polysaccharides in nature. Its composition is essential for the normal growth and morphology pattern, as ...

Pectin is a unique fiber found in fruits and vegetables. It’s a soluble fiber known as a polysaccharide, which is a long chain of indigestible sugars. When heated in the presence of liquid, pectin ...

Pectin is a naturally occurring thickener and stabilizer, helping jams, jellies, and fruit preserves set. Scientifically speaking, it’s a soluble fiber (a.k.a. a type of polysaccharide) found in the ...

Increased understanding of pectins, a major component of plant cell walls, is opening the door to novel applications, as well driving research into new sources, says a new review. "More and more ...

One of the hottest trends in food chemistry these days is an ingredient that has been around for generations: pectin. And chemical firms, which are increasingly keen on the high-growth food and ...
