Description

Changes in functional properties of pectin extracted from sugar beet or citrus peel by electron beam in solid state or aqueous solution were investigated. Citrus pectin (CP) was degraded at both solid state and aqueous solution by irradiation with electron beam. Sugar beet pectin (SBP) was degraded at solid state but in aqueous solution at high concentrate was polymerized by irradiation with electron beam. SBP polymerized by electron beam formed hydrogel. This hydrophilic polymer was useful as water absorbent. Moreover, it was confirmed that the emulsification stability and acidified milk beverage stabilization of SBP was enhanced by electron beam.
