Pectinates are a group of chemicals derived from pectin, a complex polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants, particularly in fruits. They are widely used in the food industry as gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agents. Pectinates can be classified into two main types: high-methoxyl pectinates (HMP) and low-methoxyl pectinates (LMP). HMP is used in acidic conditions to form gels, while LMP requires the addition of calcium ions to form gels in neutral or alkaline conditions. These chemicals are commonly found in jams, jellies, and other fruit-based products, as well as in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics due to their beneficial properties, such as their ability to improve gut health and act as a natural emulsifier.
The CAS Registry Mumber 9047-18-1 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 9,0,4 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 8 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 9047-18: (6*9)+(5*0)+(4*4)+(3*7)+(2*1)+(1*8)=101 101 % 10 = 1 So 9047-18-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
