Naturally occurring pectin is a soluble fiber found in many fruits and plants. Pectin is a great example of a natural polymer, and is composed of pectic acid and pectinic acid molecules. It is basically a compound with a bunch of sugars and acids attached to it. (I always find the chemical structure fun!) Every plant contains some amount, sometimes just a very small amount, of pectin.
The main use for pectin is as a gelling agent, thickening agent and stabilizer in food. Itâs sold commercially as a white- to light-brown powder that is extracted from citrus fruits. Companies commonly use pectin in food as a gelling agent, particularly in jams and jellies.
