NPGP, a pectic polysaccharide with high galacturonic acid content, can form self-supporting gels when acidified and cooled. The decrease in pH promotes pectin chain-chain association mainly through hydrogen bonding, leading to increased gel strength and thermal stability. Sucrose slightly enhances gelation of NPGP, while the presence of monovalent and divalent ions has insignificant effects.
Nicandra physalodes (Linn.) Gaertn. polysaccharide (NPGP) was previously recognized as a pectic polysaccharide, with a high galacturonic acid content (87.8%) and a low methoxylation degree (28%). In the present study, it was found that NPGP can form self-supporting gels when cooling its heated solutions (2.0%, w/v) acidified by citric acid. It was demonstrated that the decrease in pH led to the suppression in electrostatic repulsions between the pectin chains, thereby promoting pectin chain-chain association mainly through hydrogen bonding. As the pH decreased from 3.2 to 2.4, the gel strength and gel thermal stability were continuously increased. Moreover, it was shown that sucrose addition slightly promoted the gelation and gel thermal stability of NPGP, but the effect of monovalent ions (Na+) and divalent ions (Ca2+) was not significant. Conclusively, our results indicate that NPGP is a new gelling polysaccharide that shows great potential in formulation of acidic gel foods.
