Article Abstract
In recent years, RG-I pectin isolated by low-temperature alkaline extraction methods has attracted the attention of a large number of researchers due to its huge health benefits. However, studies on other applications of RG-I pectin are still lacking. In this study, we summarized the sources (e.g. potato pulp, sugar beet pulp, okra, apple pomace, citrus peel, pumpkin, grapefruit, ginseng, etc.), extraction methods, fine structure and applications of RG-I pectin in physiological activities (e.g. anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-oxidation, immune regulation, prebiotics, etc.), emulsions, gels, etc. These neutral sugar side chains not only endow RG-I pectin with various physiological activities but the entanglement and cross-linking of these side chains also endow RG-I pectin with excellent emulsifying and gelling properties. We believe that this review can not only provide a comprehensive reading for new workers interested in RG-I pectin, but also provide a valuable reference for future research directions of RG-I pectin.

Oral delivery of natural antioxidants represents a promising therapeutic strategy for ulcerative colitis (UC), yet their therapeutic efficacy is hindered by instability and poor accumulation at inflamed sites. To address this, we developed Galectin-3 (Gal-3)-targeted nanoparticles (ZDP-NPs) by encapsulating diosmetin within zein complexes modified with a galactose- and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I)-rich pectin (PMTP, Mw: 228.8 kDa, DM: 34.

Passion fruit mesocarp is rich in pectin, and high-temperature/pressure modification of this pectin has been shown to yield bioactive fragments with anticancer potential. To clarify the structure-function relationship of passion fruit pectins, we purified native and modified pectins using two fractionation methods. Comprehensive chemical characterization revealed molecular weight as the primary difference between fractions, along with varying proportions of homogalacturonan (HG) and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I).

Jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) leaves have long been consumed as an edible vegetable in Asia and Africa, which are underexplored sources of bioactive polysaccharides. This study employed sequential solvent extraction (water, oxalate, acid, alkali) to isolate four novel polysaccharide fractions (WJP, OJP, HJP, AJP) and evaluated their structural, functional, and antioxidant properties.

The effects of high-pressure homogenization (HPH, 100 MPa) on the physicochemical and structural characteristics of homogalacturonan non-de-esterified (HG-ND), homogalacturonan de-esterified (HG-D), and rhamnogalacturonan-I (RG-I)-enriched fractions of pectin in strawberry pulp were investigated. Furthermore, the relationship between these pectin fractions and the binding and digestive stability of anthocyanins (ACNs) was analyzed. Following HPH-100 MPa treatment, the yields of the HG-ND, HG-D, and RG-I-enriched fractions significantly increased, accompanied by a slight decrease in the molecular weight (Mw).

Heavy addition of sucrose increases caloric content and health risks of the pectin gel product. In this study, oligosaccharides such as stachyose and dextran were used to fabricate pectin-based emulsion gel for loading nobiletin (Nob). Results showed that the pectin derived from Xuehua pear exhibited better gelling properties than citrus pectin.
