Product Information

However, more research in humans is needed to better understand how pectin affects blood sugar and fat levels. Decreases colon cancer risk In addition, this fiber helps decrease inflammation and cellular damage that can trigger colon cancer cell formation — thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer ( 21). A 1997 study published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition tested the hypothesis that pectin increases satiety for 49 male and 25 female U.S. Army employees within normal weight limits. On days one and two of the study, the participants fasted overnight and were then given orange juice followed by ice cream four hours later.

As a soluble fiber, it works by binding to fatty substances in the digestive tract, including cholesterol and toxins, and promotes their elimination. This means that pectin benefits the body’s detoxifying capabilities, helps regulate the body’s use of sugars and cholesterol, and improves gut and digestive health. Pectin can be consumed directly from high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables and seeds. Plus, these healthy foods are known as cholesterol-lowering foods because of their overall fiber content. Pectin is a fiber and contains almost no calories or nutrients. It’s a key ingredient in jams and jellies and used as a soluble fiber supplement. Nutrition A 2001 study conducted at the Centre for Health and Population Research in Bangladesh evaluated the beneficial intestinal effects of dietary fibers from green banana or pectin in children with persistent diarrhea.During the Industrial Revolution, the makers of fruit preserves turned to producers of apple juice to obtain dried apple pomace that was cooked to extract pectin. Later, in the 1920s and 1930s, factories were built that commercially extracted pectin from dried apple pomace, and later citrus peel, in regions that produced apple juice in both the US and Europe. Try this Pear Cranberry Salad for lunch or dinner. The flavors of this salad are interesting and work well together — plus you take advantage of the amazing pectin health benefits. Supplementing with pectin may offer several potential health benefits. Improves blood sugar and blood fat levels Pectin increases viscosity and volume of stool. Therefore, it’s commonly used for natural relief of constipation and diarrhea. I would say in many cases a jam sugar can make the set of a jam or jelly too firm. Depending on the type of fruit you are making jam with you can introduce too much pectin, for example, oranges, used to make marmalade, have high levels of pectin and acid which means marmalade sets easily without jam sugar.

Isolated pectin has a molecular weight of typically 60,000 to 130,000g/mol, varying with origin and extraction conditions. [ citation needed] Typical levels of pectin used as a food additive are between 0.5 and 1.0% – this is about the same amount of pectin as in fresh fruit. [30] In the UK it is called “Jam Sugar” in the US “Gelling Sugar” but both are essentially the same thing, sugar with added pectin and citric acid. Sugar, pectin and acid are all required to make jams and jellies set properly.The other type of pectin, low methoxyl, is a good alternative for sugar-free preservation. Instead of sugar, calcium is used for that final set. This kind of pectin is often marketed as “light” or “sugar-free.” Storebought pectin has a lot of uses in your cooking and food preservation efforts. However, the homemade stuff is even better than what you would buy at the store. Not only is it better for your health, containing no artificial ingredients, but it also comes from natural sources. Liquid pectin needs to be stored in your refrigerator. In most cases, the pectin you make at home will be liquid. It will store in your refrigerator for five days or it will freeze for up to six months. These recipes are easy to follow and yield delicious homemade jams that you'll be proud to share with your family and friends!
