Pectin has a new use as a photothermal material, according to a study published in Carbohydrate Polymers by Aalto researchers ...

The pectin molecule structure comprises COOH groups, which can be negatively charged, leading to a repulsion between molecules instead of solidification in the jam. Lemon juice raises the acidic pH of ...

Previously, the researchers managed to fabricate an anisotropic structure which means that pectin cryogel has different ...
