Pectic acids metal complexes

Pectic acids metal complexes, 984 Penicillamine disulfide... 

Pectin analysis also needs more refining and emphasis. Pectic substances are a group of related substances (protopectin, pectin, and pectic acids), each with specific chemical characteristics (9). Both the protopectin and the pectic acid, pectinic acid, form insoluble complexes with metals, especially calcium. These too, like the protein, are concentrated in the persistent middle lamella-primary wall complex.
