Pectina de cítricos modificada

Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) is a low molecular weight, low esterification pectin derived from the peel of citrus fruits (primarily lemons, limes, and oranges) through controlled hydrolysis. Unlike conventional high molecular weight citrus pectin (typically 50,000 – 100,000 Da), MCP is processed to reduce its molecular weight to approximately 10,000 – 30,000 Da, enabling its absorption into the bloodstream and systemic bioavailability.

Modified Citrus Pectin， It is a polysaccharide complex mainly composed of galactose extracted from the skin and flesh of citrus, lemon, orange, grapefruit and other fruits. Its pharmacological effects include anti-tumor, anti-aging, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti ulcer, hypoglycemic, lipid-lowering, anticoagulant, and immune function enhancement.

Pectina de cítricos modificada

Standard citrus pectin is a complex polysaccharide rich in galacturonic acid, with a high degree of esterification, making it indigestible and largely confined to the gastrointestinal tract. The modification process reduces the molecular weight and degree of esterification, producing a pectin fragment that is soluble, absorbable, and capable of interacting with cell surface receptors.
