Pectin
Food
Pectin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in fruits, particularly apples and citrus fruits. It is widely used in the food industry as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener, especially in the production of jams, jellies, and fruit preserves. Pectin helps these products achieve their desired texture by forming gels when combined with sugar and acid. Additionally, pectin has health benefits, particularly in promoting digestive health, as it is a soluble fiber that can help lower cholesterol levels and improve gut function. In the food industry, pectin is valued for its ability to create low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives to traditional fruit products.
