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 depolymerized pectin, fractioned pectin, modified pectin, pH-modified pectin, low molecular weight pectin, and MCP) is a more digestible form of pectin. Modified citrus pectin is composed predominantly of D-polygalacturonates, which are more easily absorbed by the human digestive system.
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).

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.
Pectin, a plant polysaccharide; Pectineus muscle, a thigh muscle; Pectinoidea, a superfamily of bivalve mollusks which includes Pectinidae Pectinidae, a family of bivalve mollusks Pecten albicans, Japanese baking scallop; Pecten excavatus; Pecten sulcicostatus, South African scallop
Gelling sugar or (British) Jam sugar or (US) Jelly sugar or sugar with pectin is a kind of sugar that is used to produce preserves, and which contains pectin as a gelling agent. It also usually contains citric acid as a preservative , sometimes along with other substances, such as sorbic acid or sodium benzoate
Deamidation reaction of Asn-Gly (top right) to Asp-Gly (at left) or iso(Asp)-Gly (in green at bottom right) Deamidation is a chemical reaction in which an amide functional group in the side chain of the amino acids asparagine or glutamine is removed or converted to another functional group.
Pectic acid, also known as polygalacturonic acid, is a water-soluble, transparent gelatinous acid existing in over-ripe fruit and some vegetables.It is a product of pectin degradation in plants, and is produced via the interaction between pectinase and pectin (the latter being common in the wine-making industry.)
