CAS 108321-62-6
:PECTATE POTASSIUM
Description:
Pectate potassium, with the CAS number 108321-62-6, is a potassium salt of pectic acid, a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants. It is primarily used in food and pharmaceutical applications due to its gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties. Pectate potassium is soluble in water, forming a viscous solution, which makes it useful as a gelling agent in jams, jellies, and other food products. It is also employed in the formulation of dietary supplements and as a stabilizer in various cosmetic products. The substance is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used in appropriate amounts. In terms of chemical characteristics, pectate potassium exhibits anionic properties due to the presence of carboxylate groups, which can interact with cations and other molecules, influencing its behavior in different environments. Its ability to form gels in the presence of divalent cations, such as calcium, is particularly significant in both culinary and industrial applications.
