Notes:
The viscosity numbers of dilute, aqueous, pectin dispersions in 0.04 molal tartaric acid were measured as a function of pectin concentration. The flow characteristics were concluded to be pectin-specific rather than class-specific. The equation describing the linear relationship involves a squared expression of the factors that influence the mass and size of the macromolecules. As a result, small differences in methoxyl content, polydispersity, location of carboxyl groups, etc. were exaggerated to give each pectin a nearly unique orientation in a coordinate plane, defined by an apparent-viscosity factor and the reciprocal, absolute temperature.
