Pectin CAS?No.:?124843-18-1 basic information

1. The main use for pectin (vegetable agglutinate) is as a gelling agent, thickening agent

and stabilizer in food.

2.Pectin also reduces syneresis in jams and marmalades and increases the gel strength

 of low calorie jams.

3. For household use, pectin is an ingredient in gelling sugar (also known as "jam sugar")

where it is diluted to the right concentration with sugar and some citric acid to adjust pH.

4.Pectin is used in confectionery jellies to give a good gel structure, a clean bite and to

confer a good flavour release.

3. Apple pectin may be just one more reason why the phrase “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” has endured. What exactly is pectin? It's a complex carbohydrate, a soluble fiber found in the walls of plant cells. The actual amount of pectin found in the cells varies by each plant. Overall, pectin content is typically higher in legumes and certain fruits. For instance, apple, grapefruit, orange and apricot are known to have high levels of pectin. There are many health benefits associated with pectin including:

regulating the digestive system

lowering blood pressure

lowering glucose levels

lowering bad cholesterol levels

While pectin alone certainly has a number of health benefits, apple pectin in particular has some other medicinal advantages. Its primary use is as a natural remedy for digestive disorders. Since apple pectin is high in fiber, it is used to help regulate bowel movements. It can help firm stools and reduce inflammation associated with diarrhea, as well as help with constipation. It is also used to help treat colitis, irritable bowel disease, and other related digestive disorders.  

In addition to helping the digestive system, apple pectin has also been shown to help with overall heart health. In studies of apple pectin, it has been shown that it may help lower blood sugar levels, total cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels. It can play a role in controlling your blood-sugar levels as well since it helps slow the digestion of sugars and fats. Interestingly, the consumption of apple pectin via the whole fruit has been shown to provide greater benefits than through a supplement alone.

Another interesting study of apple pectin confirms yet one more reason why it pays to eat your fruits and vegetables. As it turns out, the pectin protects against cancer. While apple pectin benefits have been known for some time, this particular study sheds light on how pectin works specifically in fighting cancer cells. A research team at the Institute of Food Research in Norwich, England, discovered that a substance in pectin binds to a tumor-producing protein called galectin 3. Galectin 3 allows cancer cells to detach from tumors and to reattach elsewhere, and so it's a major factor in the spread of cancer. But pectin blocks the activity of galectin 3 and in so doing, may prevent the progression of cancer within the body.

When it interacts with acid, it produces new molecular components, including the substance galactose, which binds to galectin 3. (Theoretically, it would seem that your stomach acid could provide that activation, provided you're still producing sufficient stomach acid.) You may know pectin as a substance used to solidify jams and jellies, and so the question arises: does "jamming" yourself full of jam protect you from cancer? Probably not so much. The researchers point out that while the process of making jam may activate the "good" effects of the pectin and provide some protection, the high sugar content and additives in commercial jams would most likely counteract the benefits (a good reason to choose all-fruit jam).

Studies have confirmed, however, that apple pectin benefits individuals combating cancer. A research team at the University of Georgia found that pectin destroyed up to 40 percent of prostate cancer cells upon exposure, while other studies revealed that pectin helps in fighting lung and colon cancers. And in fact, apple pectin was used after Chernobyl to extract radioactive waste from victims. Other benefits of natural pectin include protecting against hypertension, gallstones, cholesterol damage, ulcers, colitis, constipation, diarrhea, and diabetes damage. Pectin removes "unwanted toxins and heavy metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, etc.), lowers cholesterol, and reduces the side effects of exposure to radiation." It binds water and toxins together and bulks the stool, and thus carries toxins from the body.  

Where to find apple pectin?

While scientists continue to dissect, isolate, and modify the stuff to make it "better," you can get your fill of pectin by eating plenty of raw vegetables and fruits and an occasional gob of all-fruit jam. To increase your intake even more -- and especially to reap benefits such as protection from cardiovascular damage, hypertension, and cancer -- go to the health food store and peruse the selection of pectin supplements. You can also get pectin working for you by doing an intestinal cleanse that contains pectin -- or using such a formula as part of a daily maintenance program.
