Template:Wikiproject MCB What are "higher terrestrial fruits"? This is really a turnoff in the lead sentence of the article. Also, I can't figure out from the article what "pomace" is. Can somebody who knows more about this please elaborate/clarify? Rkaufman13 04:46, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How is pectin extracted from fruits for use in cooking (jams, etc)?

i feel important for adding two sections to this article. (general information, and studies w/ pectin). Plus a some new pictures were added.

Source?

Ok, I think I have found the source: http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/hypec.html Onco p53 03:52, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some medical information, and used the back of a pectin product package as a reference. The product was Dimetapp Get Better Bear sore throat pops. 71.193.94.70 15:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Might we want to change the medical section a bit? It sounds like...well... the back of a package. I do not feel the saftey information has to be there. Maybe a bit of info on what exactly pectin does to make a throat feel better.

pectin is used > 95% as food-additive, so I have added (extensive) information on that and have included this article in the food-portal. I hope this finds acceptance from you. I assume that the wording can still be improved in places. I am currently looking for suitable pictures to complete the information.

Topsy-turvy

It seems to me the article should begin by describing pectin's place in plant chemistry, and only then describe its use as a culinary additive, rather than the other way round. Compare Yeast, for example.AdeMiami

Presence of Pectin in Plants

It appears that pectin found in the cell walls of at least some algae, so claims that pectin is unique to the higher plants or to terrestrial plants cannot be correct. --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ 22:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pectin and Cancer

Can someone add some info about the recent study into its cancer fighting properties? I read it on the BBC site. Here's a link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7663962.stm
