- Description
- Pectin is a structural heteropolysaccharide found ubiquitously in terrestrial plants. It finds diverse food applications such as that of a gelling agent, stabilizer and fat replacer. Used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize pectinase(s) and it is used to study its degradation by pectinolytic bacteria. It acts as anti-metastatic, cholesterol inhibiting, prebiotic and probiotic encapsulant. Pectin is being widely used as a component of bio-nano-packaging.
