| The standard method, which does not require added pectin, works best with fruits naturally high in pectin. |
| Dietary fibre consists of plant material such as cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, polysaccharides, gums, mucilage and lignin. |
| While the fruit is softening, boil up the pips to extract their pectin, and strain their juice into the pan while still hot. |
| Apples are also rich in the soluble fibre pectin, which helps to lower blood cholesterol. |
| Some alternatives which produce results similar to gelatin are agar-agar, carrageenan, tapioca, sago, guar gum, pectin, and rennet. |
| As the fruit ripens, enzymes convert this into pectin, the quantity of which reaches its maximum just before the fruit is fully ripe. |
