Viscoelastic Analysis of Pectin Hydrogels Regenerated from Citrus Pomelo Waste by Gelling Effects of Calcium Ion Crosslinking at Different pHs

Pectin was extracted from citrus pomelo waste, and the effects of calcium ions (Ca<sup>2+</sup>) on the gelation and hydrogels properties were investigated over a pH range of 3.2–8 by using viscoelastic analysis. The gelatinization of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-pectin was examined at co...
