Pectin samples from different botanical sources have different shapes when analysed by size exclusion chromatography in combination with light scattering, viscosity and refractive index detections. Lemon pectin has fairly high [η]/M_W proportion (weight-averaged intrinsic viscosity per weight-averaged molecular weight) while this proportion is lower with typical orange pectin and even lower with sugar beet pectin. HM pectin may under appropriate circumstances and in the presence of calcium ions produce thickened or semi-gelled solutions by a mechanism that in some respects resembles the commercially widely used gelling of LM pectin. Besides obviously being dependent upon the intramolecular distribution of free pectin carboxyl groups, this functionality also depends upon the molecular size. The ambition of our paper is to demonstrate this structure-function relationship.
