- The microstructure and the rheological properties of pure HM (high methoxyl) and LM (low methoxyl) pectin gels and of mixed HM/LM pectin gels have been investigated. Gel formation of either the HM or LM pectin, or both, was initiated in the mixed gels by varying the sucrose and Ca 2+ content. The microstructure was characterized by transmission electron microscopy, light microscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. HM and LM pectin gels showed aggregated networks with large pores around 500 nm and network strands of similar character. Small differences could be found, such as a more inhomogeneous LM pectin network with shorter and more branched strands of flexible appearance. LM pectin also formed a weak gel in 60% sucrose in the absence of calcium. A highly inhomogeneous mixed gel structure was formed in the presence of 60% sucrose and Ca 2+ ions, which showed large synergistic effects in rheological properties. Its formation was explained by the behavior of the corresponding pure gels. In the presence of 60% sucrose alone, a homogeneous, fine-stranded mixed network was formed, which showed weak synergistic effects. It is suggested that LM pectin interacts with HM pectin during gel formation, thereby hindering secondary aggregation leading to the aggregated networks observed for the pure gels.
