The kinetics of de-esterification of high ester citrus pectin, using aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution or treatment with a mixture of ammonia in isopropanol were studied with respect to changes in methyl ester groups, molecular weight, and the formation of acid amide groups. Acid demethylation using HCl showed that higher concentrations of acid at low temperatures gave less depolymerization during de-esterification than when lower concentrations and higher temperatures were used. In a series of NH4OH de-esterifications and amidations using different ammonia concentrations at different temperatures, apparent molecular weight was retained better with a certain decrease of ester groups, as the temperature was lowered and the concentration of ammonia increased.
