Pectin: its interaction with serum lipoproteins

MM Baig and JJ Cerda

In vitro studies of interaction between grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) pectin and various human serum lipoproteins indicated that pectin interacts specifically with low-density lipoprotein. Examination of observed interaction between the pectin and low-density lipoprotein under variable experimental conditions revealed the electrostatic nature of this interaction. The results obtained from these studies suggest a possible biochemical basis by which dietary pectin may cause lowering of serum and/or tissue cholesterol levels.
