Overview
Description

Pectin is a galacturonic acid-rich polysaccharide with complex structure and function. Pectin is the main binding component in the cell walls of plants and fruits. Chemically a polysaccharide that forms a straight chain of galacturonic acid, the portion of the backbone with more side chains is called the "hairy region" and the region with fewer side chains is called the "smooth region" . Pectin is water-soluble and can be separated industrially. Under suitable conditions, its solution can form a gel and partially methoxylate (methyl esterification, that is, to form methanol esters). Pectin can be widely used in food, pharmaceutical and other industries.
