Natural Plant-Derived Ingredient – Pectin is a naturally occurring high-molecular-weight compound found primarily in higher plants, making it a versatile plant-based material.
Water-Soluble Properties – As a water-soluble acidic polysaccharide, pectin offers convenient formulation and processing characteristics for a wide range of applications.
Excellent Structural Support – Pectin forms a structural network with cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin microfibrils, and certain extensins, contributing to the rigidity and stability of plant tissues.
Well-Defined Physical Characteristics – Pectin typically appears as an off-white to pale yellow powder with a slightly acidic taste, providing consistent physical properties for processing and formulation.
Pectin CAS#9000-69-5
Pectin is a class of natural, high-molecular-weight compounds found primarily in higher plants, where it serves as an important component of the intercellular matrix. It is an acidic polysaccharide that typically appears as an off-white to pale yellow powder with a slightly acidic taste and is soluble in water.
Pectin is deposited in the primary cell wall and middle lamella, where it interacts and cross-links with cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin microfibrils, and certain extensins within the primary wall. This structural network contributes to the rigidity and stability of plant tissues, helps maintain their characteristic shapes, and provides structural support for the cells within them.

Product Application of Pectin CAS#9000-69-5
Pectin is a gum consisting of the methylated ester of polygalacturonic acid. It is primarily obtained from citrus peels and apple pomace. The degree of methylation (DM), or degree of esterification (DE), refers to the percentage of acid groups present in the form of methyl esters.
Pectin is generally divided into two main groups: high-methoxy (HM) pectin, which has a degree of esterification of 50% or greater, and low-methoxy (LM) pectin, which has a degree of esterification of less than 50%. These two types of pectin form gels under different conditions.
Low-methoxy pectins can be further classified into low-methoxy amidated pectin and conventional low-methoxy pectin.
