Scope note: Polisacáridos de elevado peso molecular presentes en la pared celular de todas las plantas. Las pectinas unen las paredes celulares entre sí. Se utilizan como emulsionantes y estabilizantes en la industria alimentaria. Se han usado con diversos fines terapéuticos (por ejemplo, como antidiarreicos, aunque actualmente se considera que no son eficaces a este respecto), incluido el tratamiento de la hipercolesterolemia.

Scope note: High molecular weight polysaccharides present in the cell walls of all plants. Pectins cement cell walls together. They are used as emulsifiers and stabilizers in the food industry. They have been tried for a variety of therapeutic uses including as antidiarrheals, where they are now generally considered ineffective, and in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
