Abstract:
Structurally different pectic polysaccharides are composed of different monosaccharide units in different molar ratio. The structures of the pectic polysaccharide isolated from different plants are investigated using different experiments (acid hydrolysis, methylation analysis, periodate oxidation studies) and NMR spectroscopy techniques (1D & 2D-NMR). Different pectic polysaccharides isolated from different plant showed various biological activities. Reviews the structural and biological properties of pectin from different plants.
