PECTIN PURE
Pectin is a fiber found in fruits. It is often used as a thickener in cooking and baking. It is also sometimes used to make medicine. People use pectin for high cholesterol, high triglycerides, heartburn, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
In food, it is most commonly used to thicken jams, jellies, and preserves. The human body cannot digest pectin in its natural form. But an altered form of pectin, known as modified citrus pectin (MCP), has properties that allow it to be digested.
Pectin (PEK-tin) is a mixture, not a compound. Mixtures differ from compounds in a number of important ways. ... Chemically, pectin is a polysaccharide, a very large molecule made of many thousands of monosaccharide units joined to each other in long, complex chains.
