3. HM pectin gelling mechanism

A combination of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions is the mechanism responsible for the gelation of HM pectins (figure 6 ). The resulting three-dimensional network, capable of binding solvent, consists of a stack of helically esterified homogalacturonic zones.

The proposed model is as follows:
