Abstract : In our present paper we have given a comprehensive review of the medical uses, chemistry and other application of pectin. Pectin has many relevant therapeutic uses which is needful for obtaining effective herbal formulation. Pectin is chemically polysaccharide obtained from many fruits and vegetables. It occurs naturally as partial methyl ester of a (1→4) linked (+) - polygalacturonate sequences interrupted with rhamnose residues the neutral sugars. Pectin molecules are namely: galactose, rabinose, xylose and fructose. Common types of pectin are high methoxypectin (HM) and low methoxy pectin (LM). HMP is the common type and labelled as “fast –or rapid-set” and ”slow-set” .fast-set HM is best for chunky jams and slow set HM work well for clear jellies.it is used pharmacologically for regulation of blood cholesterol level and act as antioxidant, antimicrobial and antidiabetic. We have compiled the pharmaceutical, chemical and pharmacological uses of pectin.

Keywords : Pectin, Pharmacology, Pharmaceutical Additive, Natural Stabilizer.
