Abstract

Pectin, a heteropolysaccharide derived from plant cell walls, is essential in the food, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries. Currently, citrus and apple peels are the primary sources for commercial pectin production. The yield and quality of pectin extracted from various plant sources significantly differ based on the extraction methods employed, which include physical, chemical, and biological processes. The complex structures of pectin, composed of polygalacturonic acid and rhamnogalacturonan, influence its physicochemical properties and, consequently, its functionality. As a common polysaccharide, pectin finds applications across multiple sectors. In the food industry, it acts as a gelling agent and a packaging material; in pharmaceuticals, it is utilized for drug delivery and wound healing. Environmentally, pectin contributes to wastewater treatment by adsorbing pollutants. Current research focuses on alternative sources, sustainable extraction methods, and multifunctional applications of pectin. Ongoing studies aim to enhance extraction technologies and broaden the applications of pectin, thereby supporting sustainable development goals.

果胶的来源、提取、特性和多功能应用：简评。

果胶是从植物细胞壁中提取的一种杂多糖，在食品、制药和环保行业中至关重要。目前，柑橘和苹果皮是商业果胶生产的主要来源。从各种植物中提取果胶的产量和质量因所采用的提取方法（包括物理、化学和生物过程）而有很大不同。果胶由聚半乳糖醛酸和鼠李糖半乳糖醛酸组成，其复杂的结构影响着果胶的理化性质，进而影响其功能。作为一种常见的多糖，果胶的应用遍及多个领域。在食品工业中，它可用作胶凝剂和包装材料；在制药业中，它可用于给药和伤口愈合。在环保方面，果胶可吸附污染物，有助于废水处理。目前的研究重点是果胶的替代来源、可持续提取方法和多功能应用。正在进行的研究旨在提高提取技术，扩大果胶的应用范围，从而支持可持续发展目标。

期刊介绍： Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.
