Because most studies were small and the results are mixed, we cannot conclude for certain that pectin helps with diabetes. Larger, more robust clinical trials are needed to shed some light on this potential use. 2) Weight Loss

Finally, this fiber is a key component of time-release coatings used in some medications ( 6). Summary Tapioca is one of the healthier options for kids as a substitute for commercial pectin. It is extracted from cassava tubers which makes it a natural carbohydrate. Cassava tubers are native to South America but are known as Yuca in the United States. Schwab, U., Louheranta, A., Torronen, A., and Uusitupa, M. Impact of sugar beet pectin and polydextrose on fasting and postprandial glycemia and fasting concentrations of serum total and lipoprotein lipids in middle-aged subjects with abnormal glucose metabolism. Eur J Clin Nutr 2006;60(9):1073-1080. View abstract. Soluble fibers turn into gel in your digestive tract in the presence of water. As such, they soften the stool and speed the transit time of material through the digestive tract, reducing constipation ( 35).

A high-pectin diet (enteral liquid 2:1 v/v) reduced the number and duration of reflux episodes in a clinical trial on 18 children with cerebral palsy and acid reflux [ 25]. Although most of the studies were conducted in humans, many of them had small populations or a short follow-up period [ 43, 25, 42, 39]. Side Effects & Precautions

Rabbani GH, Teka T, Zaman B, et al. Clinical studies in persistent diarrhea: dietary management with green banana or pectin in Bangladeshi children. Gastroenterology 2001;121:554-60. View abstract. From these materials, pectin is extracted by adding hot dilute acid at pH values from 1.5 to 3.5. During several hours of extraction, the protopectin loses some of its branching and chain length and goes into solution. After filtering, the extract is concentrated in a vacuum and the pectin is then precipitated by adding ethanol or isopropanol. An old technique of precipitating pectin with aluminium salts is no longer used (apart from alcohols and polyvalent cations, pectin also precipitates with proteins and detergents).Although the results are promising, 2 clinical trials cannot be considered sufficient evidence. More clinical research is needed to validate their results. 5) Constipation Pectin may have a potential role in cancer care. In a small study of men with prostate cancer for whom standard treatment had failed, MCP appeared to slow the growth of their cancer.
