Forinstance, the gelling properties of an alginate are highlydependent upon the monomer composition and sequentialstructure of th

Gel strength will depend upon theguluronic acid content (FG) and also the average number ofconsecutive guluronate moieties in G-block structures (NG1).4.2 Chemical composition and sequential structure of algi-nate can be determined by1H- and13C-nuclear magnetic reso-nance spectroscopy (NM

17、assignments are based on data published by Gras-dalen et al. (1979, 1981, 1983).4,5,6The NMR technique hasmade it possible to determine the monad frequencies FM(frac-tion of mannuronate units) and FG(fraction of guluronateunits), the four nearest neighboring (diad) frequencies FGG,FMG,FGM,FMM, and t

18、he eight next nearest neighboring (triad)frequencies FGGG,FGGM,FMGG,FMGM,FMMM,FMMG,FGMM,FGMG. Knowledge of these frequencies enables number aver-ages of block lengths to be calculated. NGis the numberaverage length of G-blocks, and NG1is the number averagelength of G-blocks from which singlets (-MGM

Similarly, NMis the number average length ofM-blocks, and NM1is the number average length of M-blocksfrom which singlets (-GMG-) have been excluded.13C NMRmust be used to determine the M-centered triads and NM1.This test method describes only the1H NMR analysis ofalginate. Algi

Acid hydrolysis is used todepolym

TTHA is used as a chelator to prevent traces ofdivalent cations to interact with alginate. While TTHA is amore effective chelat

Such interactions may lead to line broadeningand selective loss of signal intensity.4.4 Samples are analyzed at a temperature of 80 6 1C.Elevated sample temperature contributes to reducing sampleviscosity and repositions the proton signal of resi

Range, Standard Deviation, and Reporting Results7.1 Data suggest that a suitable value for repeatability andintermediate precision (as measured by the standard deviation,SD) for FGis 0.01. This value applies for all other sequentialpar

Consequently,sequential parameters should be reported with 2 significantdecimals and a standard deviation of 0.01, for example, FG=0.68 6 0.01.7.2 G-rich alginates should be reported with guluronic acidcontent as a percentage, for example, “guluronic acid

26、 content:68 %” (standard deviation 61 %). M-rich alginates should bereported with mannuronic acid content as a percentage, forexample, “mannuronic acid content: 66 %” (standard deviation61 %).7.3 For NG1, the overall quality of the data suggests toreport a relative standard deviation of approximatel

Consequently,

If this testmethod is to be used to characterize alginate anticipated tohave an FGbelow or above the stipulated interval, thenadditional validation may be necessary.7.6 Non-Applicable Method Parameters:FIG. 1 Th

BACKGROUNDX2.1 Alginate is a family of non-branched binary copoly-mers of 1-4 glycosidically linked b-D-mannuronic acid (M)and a-L-guluronic acid (G) residues. The relative amount ofthe two uronic acid monomers and their seque

33、ntial arrange-ment along the polymer chain vary widely, depending on theorigin of the alginate. The uronic acid residues are distributedalong the polymer chain in a pattern of blocks, where ho-mopolymeric blocks of G residues (G-blocks), homopolymericblocks of M residues (M-blocks) and blocks with a

34、lternatingsequence of M and G units (MG-blocks) co-exist. Thus, thealginate molecule cannot be described by the monomer com-position alone. NMR characterization of the sequence of M andG residues in the alginate chain is needed in order to calculateaverage block lengths. It has also been shown by NM
