CheKine™ Mirco Soluble Pectin (WSP) Content Assay Kit - 48 T

Pectin is a major component of the primary cell wall and middle lamella, primarily consisting of protopectin, pectic acid methylester, and pectic acid. Pectin contains galacturonic acid, galactose, arabinose, glucuronic acid, and others, making it one of the most abundant polysaccharides in the cell walls of many higher plants. Its unique physical and chemical properties affect the texture and quality of plant-derived foods. Pectins are cross-linked by Ca2+ bridges and other ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, glycosidic bonds, ester bonds, and phenolic ring couplings. Various forms of pectin can be extracted through different extraction methods, such as water-soluble pectin (WSP), ionically-bound pectin (ISP), and covalently-bound pectin (CSP). CheKine™ Mirco Soluble Pectin (WSP) Content Assay Kit provides a simple, convenient, and rapid method for WSP content determination suitable for plant tissue samples. The principle involves using an acidic solution to extract soluble pectin (WSP), fol
