Pectin

Pectin is a plant-derived gelling agent most often extracted from apple or citrus peels and widely used in jams, jellies, fruit fillings and many baked or confectionery applications; it’s valued for producing a clean, fruit-friendly gel and for being a vegan alternative to animal-derived thickeners. Nutritionally, Pectin is notable for its very high soluble fiber content — about 85g per 100g — which is why it’s used both as a thickener and as a source of dietary fiber in some functional foods. From a health perspective, pectin’s high soluble fiber supports gut health and satiety, and it contributes modest amounts of minerals like calcium, copper and manganese while being essentially fat- and protein-free.
