  • Analysis focused on binding irreversibility, mass transport effects, and layer thickness.

    • Main Results:

    • Irreversible binding of pectin and chitosan to the solid surface was observed.
    • Deposition was limited by mass transport at low flow rates.
    • Layer thickness correlated with biopolymer concentration, with pectin exhibiting distinct behavior.
    • Sequential deposition led to linear growth of pectin-chitosan multilayers.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides insights into the mechanisms governing pectin and chitosan layer deposition.
    • Optimized flow rates and concentrations are essential for controlled multilayer formation.
    • The findings support the potential for linear growth in pectin-chitosan systems for material applications.
