Molecular-weight characteristics of galactomannan and carrageenan

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

It was established that the action of [H+] at concentration 1.96∙10–2 M at 90°C for 5–20 min decreased sharply the molecular weight of galactomannan and carrageenan and increased their overall reductive capability. The action of [OH–] at concentrations 2.6∙10–2 and 26∙10–2 under the same conditions was characterized by a slow decrease of the molecular weight and retention of the functionality of the polysaccharides. It was shown that modified galactomannan and κ-carrageenan exhibited increased watersolubility while retaining the structure and gel-forming and stabilizing capabilities and degree of sulfation (for carrageenan).
