Mass transfer kinetics of monosaccharides, amino acids, and an emulsion was evaluated.
The effect of high (HMP) and low (LMP) methoxylated pectins was determined.
Both HMP and LMP decreased the mass transfer process of all evaluated compounds.
HMP was more effective to inhibit the mass transfer rate than LMP, except for lysine.
Viscosity and molecular interactions are suggested to control the transport of nutrients.
