Commercially, Pectin is extracted from fruits (Most commonly citrus fruits such as limes and lemons), and used to gel together Jams, Jellies, Marmalade, Jelly beans, etc. The two types of Pectin, low and high Methoxyl are both used depending on how much sugar is in a product. High Methoxyl Pectin is used when there is a high amount of sugar in a product. Low Methoxyl Pectin is used when there is a low amount of sugar in a product, this is simply because a low amount of sugar means there is not enough sugar to gel are a high rate, so the lower levels of methoxyl help slow down the rate of gelling so it can properly gel together. However, because of the low amount of methoxyl, you must ad calcium ions for the particular type of Pectin to work.
