From waste to structure: valorisation of agro-industrial byproducts as functional inducers of low-methoxyl pectin gelation.

Low-methoxyl (LM) and amidated low-methoxyl (LMA) pectins are widely used as calcium-responsive hydrocolloids in reduced-sugar foods and edible materials. However, their gelation still relies largely on purified calcium salts and refined co-solutes, while the structuring potential of agro-industrial side streams remain...
