We classified pectin as an intermediate-specificity dietary fiber .
Pectin is not classified as a FODMAP
Pectin is a structural acidic heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary and middle lamella and cell walls of terrestrial plants. Its main component is galacturonic acid, a sugar acid derived from galactose. The pectin backbone comprises 3 types of polymer: homogalacturonan (HGA), [rhamnogalacturonan I (RGI)](brain://…
