“…Many works have proven the effective cross-linking of LM pectin using Ca 2+ [ 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 , 130 , 131 , 132 , 133 , 134 ]. In addition to Ca 2+ , the cross-linking of LM pectin with Cd 2+ and Cu 2+ was reported for drug delivery applications [ 135 ]; Pectin was also cross-linked with Sr 2+ and Zn 2+ to form aerogels for diclofenac sodium controlled release [ 136 ].…”

Climate change and water are inseparably connected. Extreme weather events cause water to become more scarce, polluted, and erratic than ever. Therefore, we urgently need to develop solutions to reduce water contamination. This review intends to demonstrate that pectin-based materials are an excellent route to detect and mitigate pollutants from water, with several benefits. Pectin is a biodegradable polymer, extractable from vegetables, and contains several hydroxyl and carboxyl groups that can easily interact with the contaminant ions. In addition, pectin-based materials can be prepared in different forms (films, hydrogels, or beads) and cross-linked with several agents to change their molecular structure. Consequently, the pectin-based adsorbents can be tuned to remove diverse pollutants. Here, we will summarize the existing water remediation technologies highlighting adsorption as the ideal method. Then, the focus will be on the chemical structure of pectin and, from a historical perspective, on its structure after applying different cross-linking methods. Finally, we will review the application of pectin as an adsorbent of water pollutants considering the pectin of low degree methoxylation.
