Pectin in Pickering Emulsions and Edible Coatings
Source: Frontiers (perspective article) · 2026
A perspective article reviews how pectin's degree of esterification, molecular weight and protein residues influence Pickering emulsion stability and film performance for fresh-produce coatings.
Key findings
- Degree of esterification, molecular weight and protein components were identified as key levers on emulsion stability and the resulting film properties.
- Co-stabilisers such as zein, cellulose nanofibres and whey proteins were reviewed as partners for pectin-based systems.
- Discussed uses include fresh fruit and vegetable coatings, barrier layers, antimicrobial carriers and controlled release — the article is a field review, not a single experiment.
