Q.What is the apple pectin?
A.Pectin is the name of the complex carbohydrate fiber compounds found in apples, especially in the apple's skin, which contains 75 percent of an apple's fiber. Apples contain two types of pectin: pectin that contains soluble fiber and pectin that contains insoluble fiber. The insoluble portion of pectin is believed to help clear the intestinal tract, while the soluble portion swells with water in the digestive system and supports proper digestion, as well as helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Apples contain a particularly high amount of pectin and the highly concentrated apple pectin delivers many health benefits.
Q.What are the function of apple pectin?
A.Apple pectin may help prevent colon cancer by inhibiting a digestive system enzyme that has been linked to the reproduction and proliferation of cancer cells in the large intestine. The regular presence of the soluble portion part of the pectin in the digestive system is also connected to a decrease in the effects of a protein known as the C-reactive protein. C-reactive protein is associated with the tissue inflammation seen in patients suffering from certain types of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. According to the Cholesterol Aware site and a study published by the National Institutes of Health, apple pectin may decrease cholesterol levels by binding to bile acids and preventing the absorption of both cholesterol and fat.
Q.What are the benefits of apple pectin?
A.Fiber
Dietary fiber is the indigestible portion of plants.Apple contain two types of fiber from your diet: soluble and insoluble. They both work together to promote health. Pectin is a form of soluble fiber, which draws water from your digestive tract and forms a gel, helping to slow digestion. Insoluble fiber serves to keep food moving through your digestive system and adds bulk to your stool.

Pectin may help promote healthy cholesterol levels
May Protect Against Colon Cancer
Eating a diet rich in fiber such as pectin may be the key to preventing intestinal tumors, according to a test tube study published in a 2003 issue of the journal "Anti-Cancer Research." Scientists tested the effects of pectin on human colon cancer cells and found it inhibits tumor growth. Researchers concluded that pectin and substances resulting from the breakdown of pectin may protect against colon cancer.
Promotes Stable Glucose
Eating foods rich in soluble fiber such as pectin can help stabilize your blood glucose level. When you eat a meal containing soluble fiber, the fiber slows digestion and delays stomach emptying. This helps slow down how rapidly your body absorbs carbohydrates from the meal, which keeps glucose levels stable.
