D-Galacturonic acid (hydrate)

D-Galacturonic acid (D-galUA) hydrate, as the main component of pectin, is abundantly present in plants. The carboxyl group of D-Galacturonic acid hydrate can bind to metal cations. D-Galacturonic acid hydrate plays an important role in the food industry, pharmaceutical field, and heavy metal removal, among other aspects[1][2][3].
