Notes:
An apparatus to measure the shear modulus (rigidity) of low-methoxyl pectin gels was constructed and successfully tested. The shear modulus of the gels were found to be dependent upon the methoxyl content of the pectin sample and the normal load during shear testing. The results also indicate that shear modulus provides a measure of differences in the gel characteristics.
