Talk:Pectin

message: 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)

message: 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)

I read it on the BBC site. Here's a link. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7663962.stm  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snowbound (talk • contribs) 05:49, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  I would really love to see more health & biology related research in this article please. Pretty sure there is lots of fascinating research out there as is the case with Modified Citrus Pectin. Many thanks, Bastion 60.242.109.125 (talk) 00:28, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Pectins, including high and low -ester and amidated, are used in food all over the world, with the exception of the UK. Many products that would contain pectin in the United States contain gelatin instead in the UK, sourced from either beef or pork.

thread_title:  Amylopectin 

message: The article contains somewhat insufficient information. The composition of Pectin is only briefly described, and it could benefit from a better figure representing the polymer.
This really needs to be elaborated upon.

thread_title:  Chemical Composition! 

message: The comment that pectin may induce diabetes in animals might be misleading or controversial. Other studies (e.g. Bray et al. Nutrition & Metabolism (2018) 15:55  https://doi.org/10.1186/s12986-018-0294-7  Switching from a high-fat cellulose diet to a high-fat pectin diet reverses certain obesity-related morbidities ) suggest that pectin leads to weight loss and improved glucose tolerance. I do not know why the studies seem to contradict one another, but this statement pectin may induce diabetes should not be left without some qualification.  Pollira (talk) 00:48, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
