Modified citrus pectin
It is obtained from the peels, seeds and pulp of citrus fruits using a chemical extraction process.[1] In general, pectin is a gel-forming polysaccharide from plant cell walls, especially apple and citrus fruits.Pectin is a type of viscous dietary fiber and varies in the length of polysaccharide chains.Although pectin is not digestible by humans, it can be treated to create smaller fiber fragments to increase absorbability across the small intestine epithelium.Modified citrus pectin is composed predominantly of D-polygalacturonates, which are more easily absorbed by the human digestive system.
