☜☆☞ Pectin is a useful substance from the cell walls of plants, mostly citrus. It is a form of soluble starch (a hetero-polysaccharide), that is used to ‘gel’ foods. Fruits before they are ripe usually contain more pectin (very firm), but as they ripen the pectin breaks down and the fruit becomes more yielding to pressure. The pectin content of most citrus fruits is approximately 1%.
Makers of fruit preserves frequently add concentrated pectin to the fruit and sugar mixture during heating or unripe fruits are added to achieve the same result. Inferior jams and jellies with a low concentration of fruit must add proportionately more pectin to achieve the gelled consistency.
More recently, nutritional science has discovered that pectin slows the absorption of certain sugars, and reduces cholesterol, which establishes pectin as a “soluble fibre”.
