摘要
Commercial high methoxyl citrus pectin was fractionated on Sepharose 2 B/Sepharose 4 B. Fractions were used to calibrate GPC by light scattering and membrane osmometry. The angular dependence of light scattering of the fractions was interpreted in terms of a two-component system giving reliable Mw/Mn ratios for the major molecularly dispersed component which forms coils of considerable stiffness in solution. A minor particulate spherical component was identified which was rich in neutral sugars. Structural parameters of this component were determined by comparison of the experimental scattering behavior with master curves. β-Elimination of the fully esterified pectin was carried out to reveal the chemical nature of the particulate component. © 1989.
