Solvent-Free Synthesis of Modified Pectin Compounds Promoted by Microwave Irradiation
Microwave-assisted solvent-free modification of pectin was successfully accomplished, consisting in the esterification of several fatty acids by pectin alcoholic functions. The reaction was performed by simply mixing the reagents with a catalytic amount of the inorganic base (potassium carbonate) an...
