Pectin is well known for its bioactive health-promoting properties and use in biobased products. Recent reports have demonstrated that pectin and pectic fractions have potential as prebiotics, prevent pathogenic bacterial adhesion, increase prostate specific antigen doubling time in patients with recurrent prostate cancer, induce apoptosis in prostate and colon cancer cells, and systemically chelate heavy metals which are eliminated by urinary excretion. New biobased product applications include bioplastics and films derived from pectin or pectin-rich aricultural residues such as sugar beet pulp. Pectin has also been used in scaffolds for bone and connective tissue repair and controlled-release matrices for colon-specific drug delivery. While the biobased product applications of pectin require high molecular weight, the new bioactive properties of pectin are enhanced or only observed following reduction of the polysaccharide’s molecular weight.
