Abstract

The chemical properties of sugar pectin preparate and its gel formation due to laccase were studied. The sugar beet pectin contained significant amounts of galacturonic acid and also rhamnose, arabinose, galactose and ferulic acid groups. No gel formation occurred without laccase. The rate of cross-linking increased with increasing enzyme activity. The gels were softer at higher enzyme activities.
