Maximum water uptake of unmodified pectin, Pec-Cys and Pec-Cys-MNA. Indicated values are means ± SD, n = 4. Means of max. wateruptake differ from each other significantly: Pec pH 1 from Pec-Cys pH 1, Pec pH 1 from Pec-Cys-MNA pH 1, Pec pH 6.8 from Pec-Cys pH 6.8 and from Pec-Cys-MNA pH 6.8, Pec-Cys pH 6.8 from Pec-Cys-MNA pH 6.8 (Bonferroni’s Multiple Comparison Test, p< 0.05).
