Modified Citrus PectinContains a soluble source of modified citrus pectinPromotes detoxificationIsolated from orange and free from coloring and masking agentsModified citrus pectin (MAP) is a carbohydrate derived from the soluble fiber in citrus peels that has been properly broken down into smaller fragments for easier absorption in the digestive tract. AOR's MAP is refined to match the specific size and weight of pectin used in studies.The white pith just below the rind of citrus fruits like grapefruit and oranges is loaded with good pectin. Unfortunately, its bitter taste and chalky texture make it an undesirable food. This is where MAP comes in handy. MAP has been shown to be helpful in combating heavy metal toxicity and promoting healthy cell growth. Citrus pectin is very high in galactose. This pectin exists in long, complex chains with galactose residues hidden deep within their complex molecular branches. To solve this problem, carbohydrate chains can be broken into shorter fragments under controlled pH conditions, exposing more galactose residues and simplifying the complex molecular branches. Extensive processing of lemon, grapefruit, or mandarin fibers produces pH-modified citrus pectin. This modification process maximizes the interaction possibilities between the pectin's galactose residues and galectin-3, thus unlocking the potential of citrus pectin. AOR's PAM is prepared from Florida and French oranges, not grapefruit, as grapefruit is known to interfere with certain medications. AOR's PAM also does not contain masking agents such as colorings or flavorings in order to maintain a pure product for vulnerable populations using this product. This means that the physical properties of the product such as color, taste, and solubility may change depending on environmental factors such as harvest time, country of origin, soil conditions, etc.
