Oxidative enzyme-catalyzed crosslinking of beet pectins
Beet pectin is crosslinked with an oxidizing system containing an oxidizing agent and an enzyme such as peroxidase that uses the oxidizing agent as a substrate. The crosslinked beet pectin is useful as a thickener or gelling agent in food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products
Process for the modification of pectins from sugar beets, products obtained and their use
Procédé de modification des pectines de betterave par réaction oxydative enzymatique. Les produits obtenus ont des masses moléculaires plus élevées et peuvent former des gels aqueux. Application a titre d'agents épaississants ou gélifiants, notamment dans les industries alimentaires, cosmétiques ou pharmaceutiques
