I’ve never had Rhubarb before because it doesn’t grow in my area, so I was amazed to see how good the jam was. Because most studies were small and the results are mixed, we cannot conclude for certain that pectin helps with diabetes. Pectin is a natural and commercially produced essential ingredient in preserves, like jellies and jams. And more recently, GENU Pectin is gaining ground in the personal care and beauty market as a nature-based skin feel aid, stabilizer and pH balancing ingredient.The amount, structure and chemical composition of pectin is different among plants, within a plant over time, and in various parts of a plant. Always consult your doctor before supplementing and let them know about all drugs and supplements you are using or considering. For household use, pectin is an ingredient in gelling sugar (also known as "jam sugar") where it is diluted to the right concentration with sugar and some citric acid to adjust pH. Pectin used in the food industry as a gelling agent (for jams and jellies), or as a stabilizer (in sweets, fruit juices, and milk drinks) is mainly extracted from apple pulp or the peel of citrus fruits [ 4, 7, 5]. Extraction, characterization and spontaneous gel-forming property of pectin from creeping fig (Ficus pumila Linn.

Strawberries and raspberries, for example, are easily squashed, demonstrating how they are low in the "glue" that helps build the fruit's structure. Some fruits, especially citrus fruits, have pith just inside the peel, which has natural gelling properties and can be used as a thickening agent in your homemade jam.

For these fruits, without added pectin, making a properly set jelly or jam may require adding lots of sugar, cooking for excessively long times, or both, which results in a jam or jelly that tastes less like the fruit. Others are low in pectin such as strawberries – so lemon juice is added to strawberry jam to help the set. Fruit that is high in natural pectin such as apples, peaches, quince, crabapples, and citrus, which are the source of commercial pectin, can be made into jam without the need for added thickening agents. By making jam without pectin, less sugar will be required, but the increased cooking time will change the texture and will result in a loss of the fresh fruit flavor. Dietary fiber (such as pectin) has been traditionally believed to help manage blood sugar levels in diabetics.

Discuss with your doctor if pectin may be useful as a complementary approach in your case and which dose you should take.

Before pectin was commercially produced, it was used primarily for gelling homemade jams, but that’s just one of many applications today.

The non-esterified galacturonic acid units can be either free acids (carboxyl groups) or salts with sodium, potassium, or calcium.
