Pectin [9000-69-5]

Pectin, a heteropolysaccharide extracted from the cell wall of higher plants, plays multiple roles; it forms nanoparticles for agent delivery, acts as an adsorbent, and serves as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent. It binds to bacterial toxins and other irritants in the intestinal mucosa, alleviating irritation [1] [2] [3].
