Pectin and/or pectin-like polysaccharide (PLP) is one of polysaccharides contained in the plants and algae cell walls, That's known as a polymer branched from galacturonic acids. Pectins are widely used in industry to remove heavy elements, gel and stabilize materials. Furthermore, its antioxidant properties are considered medically and in healthy eating policies. "Pectin is composed of D-galac…
Polysaccharides can contain a few to a thousand or more monosaccharides. Three are important to the body: Starches are polymers of glucose. They occur in long chains called amylose or branched chains called amylopectin, both of which are stored in plant-based foods and are relatively easy to digest. Glycogen is also a polymer of glucose, but it is stored in the tissues of animals, especia…
