Synthesis and Characterization of Nanosized Pectin‐Based Formulations

Abstract

Pectin conjugated magnetic nanocomposites were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method in situ. The FTIR, acoustic, Mössbauer spectrometry, XRD measurements confirmed the nanoscaled structure of Fe 3 O 4 -pectin composite. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles were uniform with an mean size of $14-17 nm for low pectin concentration as 10 wt.%.

Facile synthesis of pectin-stabilized magnetic graphene oxide Prussian blue nanocomposites for selective cesium removal from aqueous solution

“…The increased adsorption efficiency of PSMGPB nanocomposites was attributed to the pectinstabilized separation of graphene oxide sheets and the enhanced distribution of magnetites on the graphene oxide surface. The stabilization of graphene oxide sheets using pectin, and the magnetite distribution were reported previously (Devasenathipathy et al, 2014;Ngenefeme et al, 2013;Namanga et al, 2013;Sahu and Dutta, 2011;Zakharova et al, 2012). Additionally, the presence of functional groups, such as hydroxyl (AOH) and carboxyl (ACOOH), from graphene oxide sheets and pectin enables Prussian blue attachment that leads to enhanced adsorption capacity in PSMGPB nanocomposites.…”

Study of nanocomposites based on iron oxides and pectin

“…Nanocomposites were prepared using Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles and pectin (PC) with in situ chemical coprecipitation method [10]. The magnetic Fe 3 O 4 particles were prepared from Fe(II) and Fe(III) salt solutions by adding NH 4 OH [11].…”

Electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles on a pectin scaffold and its electrocatalytic application in the selective determination of dopamine

“…It is negatively charged, highly biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic and nds widespread applications in food, pharmaceutical and biomedical industries. 19,20 Remarkably, pectin contains -OH and -COOH functional groups that can be used to support the nanoparticles. However, until now only our reports are available in the literature employing pectin as the stabilizing agent in Au NPs, 21 and very few reports are seen for the chemical synthesis of other nanoparticles.…”
