Pectin, obtained by extraction of chicory or Jerusalem artichoke material, having the following characteristics: an average molecular weight of 30-2000 kDa, an arabinose content of 2-30 mol %, a galactose content of 5-20 mol %, a rhamnose content of 1-15 mol %, a galacturonic acid content of 30-85 mol %, a degree of methylation (of the galacturonic acid units) of 20-80 %, a degree of acetylation (of the galacturonic acid units) of 1-50 %. The novel pectin is an excellent emulsifier and can also be used as a binder, as a surfactant and as dietary fibre. |
