Method Reference:
In-House method w/ K-URONIC 04/16, Megazyme
Method Description:
Samples are digested in a buffered solution with Viscozyme and pectinase. Extracts are run through the Galacuronic assay kit to quantify the pectin by the amount of galacturonic acid produced from the digestion.
Additional Information:
Inclusions in the pectin are not included in the calculation. Pectin is quantified as galacturonic acid equivalents.
