| Applications | It can be used as adsorbent, emulsifier, gelling agent, thickener and stabilizer. Pectin can be used as an adsorbent and excipient, and can be used as an auxiliary material for the treatment of diarrhea, constipation and obesity; it can also be used as a stabilizer for emulsions. Pectin can effectively control the release of drugs in the gastrointestinal tract, and has been used in the gel formulation of oral sustained-release ambroxol. Biodegradable pectin is used as the matrix, and the pH-sensitive polymer coating can delay the initial release of the drug and overcome the dissolution problem of pectin in the early part of the gastrointestinal tract. Patches based on amidated pectin have been studied for dermal administration of quinchloride; gelled pectin can be used for oral sustained-release administration of acetaminophen. Pectin has been used in the preparation of controlled-release mixed polymer microsphere systems. |
