Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of sodium and calcium cations on the viscosity of soy pectic polysaccharide
(SPP). The inherent viscosity of SPP was decreased in the presence of Na+ or Ca2+. Both cations increased the molecular
flexibility of SPP chains in the dilution zone. Moreover, SPP had a rigid rod-like conformation under the conditions adopted
in the present study.

Key words: soy pectic polysaccharide, viscosity, critical coil overlap, slope of semi-dilute domain, conformation
