So, what is pektiny?

Pektiny, also known as pectins, are a type of soluble fiber found in many fruits and vegetables. They are widely used as a natural thickener and stabilizer in food production, particularly in the creation of jams, jellies, and other preserves. Pektiny are also used in the manufacturing of confectionery, baked goods, and dairy products. They have a gel-like texture and can be easily dissolved in water. Pektiny are believed to have numerous health benefits, such as reducing cholesterol levels, improving digestion, and promoting weight loss. As a food ingredient, pektiny are versatile, easy to use, and offer a natural and healthy alternative to synthetic thickeners and stabilizers.
