Difference between Pectin and Polysaccharide

Pectin vs. Polysaccharide

Pectin (from πηκτικός, "congealed, curdled") is a structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants. Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules composed of long chains of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages, and on hydrolysis give the constituent monosaccharides or oligosaccharides.

Similarities between Pectin and Polysaccharide

Pectin and Polysaccharide have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Ammonia, Arabinose, Carboxylic acid, Cell wall, Dietary fiber, Enzyme, Ester, Molecular mass, Potato, Ruminant, Xylose.

Ruminant

Ruminants are mammals that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions.
