Abstract

Pectin is a complex polysaccharide of great importance to food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. It is widely used in the food industry as a thickener, gelling agent and an emulsifier among others. It also exhibits potential anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. Its functional properties are determined by characteristics such as neutral sugar side chains, molecular weight and degree of methyl-esterification. Human beings are unable to digest pectin and therefore pectinases are used to catalyze the degradation of pectic substances. This review focuses on the importance of pectin, its composition, the application of those enzymes involved in its degradation, the different agro-industrial residues used as sources of pectin, the extraction methods and future perspectives.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
