Microwave-assisted extraction of gentian pectin

Gentian grass, also known as gentian, is the dry root and rhizome of gentian plants. It is often used in the treatment of high blood pressure, warm jaundice, acute infectious hepatitis and other diseases. Pectin is an important part of plant cell wall, and it has the highest content in plant fruits. Pectin can be used as a gelling agent and thickener for food, a preventive agent and an antidote for heavy metal poisoning. Studies have shown that pectin, as an insoluble dietary fiber, is difficult to be absorbed by the body, and this feature can be used as a food source for patients such as hypertension. In addition, pectin also has the effect of enhancing gastrointestinal motility and promoting nutrient absorption.
