Pectin is a form of polysaccharide usually found in the call walls of plants. Pectin was first discovered and isolated in the 19th century around the time of the industrial revolution. Producers of fruit preserves would obtain apple pomace which can be cooked to extract a thick pectin solution; they would then add this to their preserves to add stability. Today, most commercially produced pectin is made from citrus fruit peel, then dried and ground to a fine powder. How to use Pectin Food Pectin is most used in jams, marmalades and fruits preserves as a thickening or gelling agent.
