A pectin fraction (LMC-I) with the best gel-forming properties as compared to LMC was obtained from Lemna minor L. callus culture and characterized by separation of starting pectin LMC through ultrafiltration membranes. Hydrogels based on pectin LMC-I of molecular mass > 300 kDa with a lower degree of methylation (11.9%) and a greater content of galacturonic acid (68%) were stronger regardless of the pectin and CaCl2 contents. The hydrogels became stronger if the concentration of pectin or cross-linking agent CaCl2 was increased.
