Pectin is composed of complex polysaccharides that are present in the primary cell walls of a plant, and are abundant in the green parts of terrestrial plants. [5] Pectin is the principal component of the middle lamella, where it binds cells. Pectin is deposited by exocytosis into the cell wall via vesicles produced in the Golgi apparatus. [6]
Modified citrus pectin (also known as citrus pectin, and MCP) is a modified, more digestible form of pectin. It is obtained from the peels, seeds and pulp of citrus fruits using a chemical extraction process. [1] In general, pectin is a gel-forming polysaccharide from plant cell walls, especially
A solution of E101 riboflavin (also known as vitamin B2) Crystals of E621 monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavour enhancer. E numbers, short for Europe numbers, are codes for substances used as food additives, including those found naturally in many foods, such as vitamin C, for use within the European Union (EU) [1]: 27 and European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

Pectin – vegetable gum, emulsifier; Perilla seed oil – high in omega-3 fatty acids. Used as an edible oil, for medicinal purposes, in skin care products and as a drying oil. Phosphated distarch phosphate – thickener, vegetable gum; Phosphoric acid – food acid; Phytic acid – preservative; Pigment Rubine – color; Pimaricin ...
These hormones have remained highly conserved throughout evolution. Each is a peptide of nine amino acids derived from a preprohormone precursor by proteolytic cleavage, with an intramolecular disulfide bridge between the cysteine (Cys) residues; the C-terminal glycine (Gly) residue is amidated. Six of the residues have been found to be ...
The article "Pectin induces apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells: correlation of apoptotic function with pectin structure" has quite a bit of information on the subject and quite a few citations. --David Munch 13:51, 9 March 2009 (UTC) I would really love to see more health & biology related research in this article please.
It is the main component of pectin, in which it exists as the polymer polygalacturonic acid. [1] In its open form, it has an aldehyde group at C1 and a carboxylic acid group at C6. Other oxidized forms of d -galactose are d -galactonic acid (carboxylic group at C1) and meso -galactaric acid ( mucic acid ) (carboxylic groups at C1 and C6).
A pecten (pl.: pectens or pectines [1] [full citation needed]) is a comb-like structure, widely found in the biological world. Although pectens in various animals look similar, they have a varied range of uses, from grooming and filtering to sensory adaptations.
