Chemical Information
FooDB NamePectic acid
DescriptionPresent in cell walls of all plant tissues. Up to 30% w/w of this polysaccharide can be isolated from orange and lemon rind. It is used in food processing as a gelling agent, stabiliser, thickener and emusifier [DFC] Pectic acid, also known as polygalacturonic acid, is a water insoluble, transparent gelatinous acid existing in ripe fruit and some vegetables. It is a product of pectin degradation in plants, and is produced via the interaction between pectinase and pectin (the latter being common in the wine-making industry). [Wikipedia]. Pectic acid is found in many foods, some of which are cottonseed, calabash, date, and apple.
