Abstract: | The effect of poly-L-lysine concentration and degree of polymerisation on the gelation of pectins differing in charge density and distribution was examined, through the determination of gel stiffness, swelling behaviour and the binding of poly-L-lysine to the gel network. Poly-L-lysine acts as a crosslinker of concentrated pectin solutions, with its effectiveness showing dependencies on pH and charge distribution on the pectin. Neutralisation of the anionic charge on the pectin with the polycationic peptide leads to gel opacity and eventually network collapse. |
