Pectin is Found in fruit, a natural fiber used as a common food thickener and stabilizer in a variety of foods.  When heated with sugar pectin forms a thickening agent or semi-solid texture often used for jams and jellies.  It can also use as a fat substitute in some baked goods.  People also use pectin for high cholesterol, prediabetes, heartburn, diarrhea, and many other conditions. Since it derived from fruit it is vegan friendly.
