Function:
Apple Pectin is a polymeric carbohydrate, which is a natural component of the cell wall and the middle lamella in all green land plants. Hence, it has an important influence on the structural properties of fruits and vegetables.Commercial pectins are white, light yellow or yellow powder without odour. Generally, pectin is a linear polysaccharide chain which consists mainly of galacturonic acid units. The galacturonic acid molecules can be esterified with methanol. Pectin appears to produce hypocholesterolemic actions and may be anti-atherogenic to some individuals. It is used in some multi-ingredient preparations for use in connection with constipation and diarrhea. Claims that it is an effective anti-obesity agent are unsubstantiated. There are studies suggesting that pectin might have some anticancer effects.
