Pectin-microfibrillated cellulose composite modified by calcium diffusion: Analysis of calcic microstructures, connectivity, mechanical properties, and behavior during thermal treatment
Pectin and microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) form a composite with a modifiable microstructure during calcium (Ca2+) diffusion. This study aimed to analyze the microstructural changes, chemical composition, and structural connectivity in the pectin-microfibrillated cellulose (PMFC) composite caused by Ca2+ diffusion. It also examined how the modified structure influences thermal treatment and compression forces. PMFC was formulated with MFC suspension and pectin to simulate plant cell wall components, pretreated with a calcium hydroxide solution, and exposed to thermal treatment. SEM analysis revealed that pectin and MFC formed large, fibrillated, amorphous structures. When calcium pretreatment was applied to PMFC, it changed into a uniform firm structure with modified three-dimensional networks consisting of shorter microstructures with more skeletons and branches (Ca2+-branched arrangement) compared to calcium-free structures. EDX analysis showed calcium peaks at different PMFC thicknesses, with calcium content increasing in the PMFC until equilibrium, reaching a calcium diffusion coefficient of 3.25 × 10−10 m2/s. The Ca2+-branched structures remained stable during thermal treatment, preventing deformation and collapse, and a moisture diffusion coefficient of 2.80 × 10−9 m2/s. Furthermore, the Ca2+-branched structures provided hardness, elasticity, and resistance to stress-deformation during compression. Ca2+ modifies three-dimensional networks even after the physicochemical interaction between pectin and MFC has occurred.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
