A Comparative Evaluation of the Metal-Binding Activity of Low-Esterified Pectin from the Seagrass Zostera marina and Other Sorbents

Russian Journal of Marine Biology volume 30, pages70–72(2004)Cite this article

Abstract

A comparative study of the sorption capacity of low-esterified pectin from the seagrass Zostera marina and drugs used for hemosorption and enterosorption was made. Low-esterified pectin was less efficient in binding in vitro lead, cadmium, and copper compared to chelating and thiol-containing compounds; but it was much more efficient than activated carbon, polyphepan, microcrystalline cellulose, and enterodez.
