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]
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).

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.
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 ...
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.
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
Stabilizers, thickening and gelling agents, like agar or pectin (used in jam for example) give foods a firmer texture. While they are not true emulsifiers, they help to stabilize emulsions. Sweeteners are added to foods for flavoring. Sweeteners other than sugar are added to keep the food energy low.
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).
