Vibration grinding of high-molecular pectic acid results in preparations of nearly constant composition and decreased average molecular weight in dependence of grinding time. By using this favourable procedure it is generally possible to produce standardized pectic acid preparations with better and more reproducible solubility properties. Such preparations are required, e.g., for comparative enzymatic investigations. For evaluating polygalacturonase activity it is proposed to use pectic acid preparations with the following properties : viscosity number [q] (intrinsic viscosity) in the range of 50-100 ml/g, mineral content lower than 1 yo, and anhydrogalacturonic acid content in the ash-free dry substance minimum 80 yo.
