Pectin, a naturally occurring polysaccharide, has in recent years gained increasingly in importance. The benefits of natural pectin are also more and more appreciated by scientists and consumer due to its biodegradability. Pectin is the methylated ester of polygalacturonic acid. It is commercially extracted from citrus peels and apple pomace under mildly acidic conditions. Pectins are divided into two major groups on the basis of their degree of esterification. The association of pectin chains… Expand

Therapeutic and pharmaceutical benefits of native and modified plant pectin
TLDR
Complete characterization of structure-activity relationships of modified pectin, well-planned in vivo investigations and optimization of pectorin-based scaffolds for controlled and targeted drug delivery in oncotherapy are yet to be ascertained for enhancing the marketing potential of these renewable plant-derived biopolymers. Expand
Structure-Related Gelling of Pectins and Linking with Other Natural Compounds: A Review
TLDR
This review strongly recommends that pectin, as a natural biocomponent, should be the focus for both the food industry and the bioeconomy since pectins are abundant in fruits and may also be extracted from cell walls in a similar way to cellulose and hemicellulose. Expand
Extraction, Characterization, and Applications of Pectins from Plant By-Products
Currently, pectins are widely used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries, mainly as texturizing, emulsifying, stabilizing, and gelling agents. Pectins are polysaccharides composed of a… Expand

TLDR
Pectin-based controlled release systems, gastro-retentive systems and mucoadhesive systems present promising approaches for increasing the bioavailability of drugs, but are in their infancy. Expand
Enzymatic modification of polysaccharides: Mechanisms, properties, and potential applications: A review.
TLDR
This review discusses the methods of enzymatic functionalization of four well-known polysaccharides, chitosan, cellulose, pectin and starch, and the enzymes implicated in the modification such as laccases, peroxidases lipases, tyrosinases, and transglutaminases. Expand
