“Pectins (Pectic Polysaccharides)”  

Pectins

  In phytochemistry, Pectins (Pectic Polysaccharides) are a structural (polysaccharides (heteropolysaccharides), rich in D-galacturonic acid, contained primarily in the cell walls and middle lamella of higher phyto-terrestrial plants. Pectin is a methylesterified form of polygalacturonic acid.
  Into our body, Pectins (Pectic Polysaccharides) may act as a prebiotic to certain bacteria strains, such as, Eubacterium eligens, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, and some Bacteroidetes phylum members. *

“Citrus Pectins”  
  In phytochemistry, Citrus Pectin, as a pectin, is a complex water soluble indigestible polysaccharide obtained from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits **

“Modified Citrus Pectins”  
  In phytochemistry, Modified Citrus Pectin, as a citrus pectin, is a complex water soluble indigestible polysaccharide obtained from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits rich in a galacturonic acid, altered by pH adjustment and thermal treatment.
  In phytochemistry, the Modified Citrus Pectin, process while maintaining the linear chain of galacturonic acid, causes a de-esterification of the pectins, decreasing the molecular weight due to the removal of neutral sugars and reducing viscosity. **

“Pectin Lyase”  

pectin lyase

  In enzyme science, pectin lyase, as a lyase reaction, is a type of polysaccharide-lyase enzyme, that favors the methyl ester pectin, over the anion pectate (which is the preferred substrate of pectate lyase). **
