Pektine & Protopectin
"Present knowledge of pectic substances in plant tissues is based mainly on histological and histochemical studies. This chapter reviews the extensive literature on the chemistry of protopectin. On the basis of the evidence available at present, it is not possible to determine unequivocally which of the several possible but still hypothetical combinations is likely to account for the solubility characteristics of native pectins. It is possible that pectin substances in different plants and in different parts of the same plant are chemically bound or physically anchored in different ways. (...)"
