Ruthenium Red Solution for Pectin Detection
Ruthenium red solution for pectin detection is used to identify pectin in plant tissues and cell walls. Applications include botanical studies, food analysis and quality control of plant products.
The chemical mode of operation is based on the interaction between the ruthenium red dye and pectin molecules. Ruthenium red selectively binds to acidic polysaccharides such as pectins, resulting in an intense red coloration. This specific staining reaction allows the identification of pectins in the samples examined.
The particular suitability of the ruthenium red solution lies in its sensitivity and selectivity for pectins. The aqueous base allows easy handling and uniform distribution of the solution on the samples. The use of this solution provides a rapid and reliable method for detecting pectins in various plant tissues and helps to better understand the structure and composition of plant cell walls.
