Verwendung von Polygalakturoniden als Lebensmittelzusatzstoffe

摘要

The invention relates to the use of polygalacturonides as food additives. Said polygalacturonides can be obtained by carrying out the following steps: a) subjecting plant material containing pectin to a pectin extraction process in aqueous solution; b) separating the solids from the suspension of the liquid phase with the dissolved pectin and the plant material solids obtained in step (a); c) precipitating pectin from the liquid phase obtained in step b); d) introducing the pectin obtained in step c) into an aqueous solution and cutting the same with purified endo-polygalacturonase; e) processing the polygalacturonides obtained in step d) into a polygalacturonide preparation without any further separation step and without hydrolysis of ester groups present.
