Examples
-
Low-methoxyl pectins require the presence of calcium, which is naturally present in some fruits and vegetables.
-
High-methoxyl pectins require a specific level of acidity.
-
I experimented with other stabilizers, including tapioca starch (by itself), carageenan or Irish moss powder, cornstarch, agar (by itself), and low-methoxyl fruit pectin (the kind that uses calcium rather than sugar to jell, like Pomona's Universal Pectin).

So, after using Pomona's Universal Pectin low-methoxyl pectin with mixed results for 2 years, I decided to try agar again.

If the calcium balance isn't right when you use low-methoxyl pectin Pomona's, you can end up with a rubbery and unpleasant product!

I had a pretty good version there for two years or so, using Pomona's Universal Pectin a low-methoxyl pectin made from citrus, which is great for making jams, jellies and preserves with either no sugar, or less sugar, or alternative sweeteners, because it doesn't need sugar to make it jell, like regular pectin-- it uses a calcium solution to jell!

One particular pleasure of that period was the development of the methoxyl-trityl family of protecting groups for nucleoside-5'-hydroxyl groups (one synthesis of trimethoxytritanol erupted and left a large orange stain on the laboratory ceiling); this class of protecting group is still in use in modern automated syntheses of DNA and RNA fragments.

Scientists from Wageningen University in The Netherlands report that the microcapsules can be formed using alternating layers of ovalbumin fibrils and high methoxyl pectin for encapsulation of ingredients like the flavor limonene.

They said that high methoxyl pectin 1400 was added to increase film strength and carvacrol was incorporated into tomato puree solutions before the film casting stage at concentrations of 0, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.5 per cent.
