Pectin Insolubilisation
Pectin plays an important role in the cotyledon tissue. It’s presence in the middle lamella act as an between the cotyledon cells. Therefore, pectin solubility is an important
The released divalent cation in turn migrate to the pectin in the middle lamella and become associated with the free carboxyl groups on the pectin. These form Ca and Mg pectate complexes, maintain the structure of the intercellular cement, and prevent the solubilisation of the pectin in the middle lamella during cooking
