Animal studies have also demonstrated the cholesterol and blood-fat-lowering properties of these supplements ( 15, 16, 17, 18). However, the conventional treatment with omeprazole was more effective in another trial on 77 people [ 29]. Campbell, L.A. and Palmer, G.H. 1978. Pectin.

Pectin is used in confectionery jellies to give a good gel structure, a clean bite and to confer a good flavour release. Pectin can also be used to stabilise acidic protein drinks, such as drinking yogurt, to improve the mouth-feel and the pulp stability in juice based drinks and as a fat substitute in baked goods. [30] Pectin was discovered by Louis Nicolas Vauquelin in 1790 but it took more than three decades for another French scientist named Henri Braconnot to isolate it. He discovered that it was the main component in fruit that was responsible for the congealing properties that enabled gelling when the fruit was boiled with sugar. Among his discoveries were that sugar was crucial to the gelling, as was the pH. It was also Braconnot who came up with the term pectin from a Greek word for congealing or solidifying.

View abstract. Thiolated pectin exhibits substantially improved gelling properties since this thiomer is able to crosslink via disulfide bond formation. These high gelling properties are advantageous for various pharmaceutical applications and applications in food industry.

PMID 22190137.In a clinical trial on 66 people with high glucose levels, pectin (0.4 L drink) reduced systolic blood pressure [ 22]. Pectin has been observed to have some function in repairing the DNA of some types of plant seeds, usually desert plants. [11] Pectinaceous surface pellicles, which are rich in pectin, create a mucilage layer that holds in dew that helps the cell repair its DNA.
