A comparative study of pectins from peel and pulp of mangrove apple fruit: the functional properties and bioactivities

Abstract

This study investigated pectin's functional properties and bioactivities derived from the peel and the pulp of the mangrove apple fruit, further elucidating its prospective bioactivity against metabolic syndrome through in vitro assessments. The study exhibited a discernible disparity in functional properties and bioactivity between the two pectins (sig < 0.05). The peel and pulp-derived pectins were classified under the high methoxyl pectin category and enriched with flavonoid and phenolic compounds, further showcasing anti-diabetic potential. Such findings underscore the potential of these pectins as therapeutic agents in managing metabolic syndrome.
