The gelling properties of zosterin-a seaweed pectin-and its fragments-an apiogalacturonan and a galacturonan [1]-have been studied by the light-scattering and viscosimetric methods. At the beginning of the intensive gelling process, the asymmetry of the scattering of the light falls, making it possible to follow the tendency to gelling of individual compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
