Published: June 2021

Pectin has been widely used as emulsifiers, gelling agents, glazing agents, stabilizers, and thickeners in food products. Hawthorn pectin has a higher viscosity than other foods-derived pectin such as lemon and apple pectin. It is also reported as a multifunctional fruit substance, which reduces the risk of hyperlipidemia and dyslipidemia. Therefore, hawthorn pectin is a potential resource for the development of new drugs, functional foods, and health-care products. This review symmetrically summarized the extraction methods, physiological characteristics, functional properties, and processing technologies of hawthorn pectin. It laid a foundation for the further research of hawthorn pectin and promoted the diversified utilization of hawthorn.

Hawthorn is rich in pectin, which is much higher than most cultivated fruits, but conventional extraction methods do not meet the requirements of low energy consumption and green production. Pectin in hawthorn is divided into soluble and insoluble parts, and with the ripening of hawthorn, the original pectin is converted into soluble pectin and pectic acid under the action of enzymes. Therefore, based on the characteristics of hawthorn pectin, this study sequentially extracted hawthorn pectin using water-soluble pectin (WSP) and hot acid-soluble pectin (HAP) method, verifying the feasibility of extracting hawthorn pectin with pure water at room temperature, and systematically analyzing and comparing the physicochemical properties and functional characteristics of the two methods.

Studies have shown that there is a close relationship between acute myocardial ischaemia (AMI) and intestinal flora imbalance. And pectin has a protective effect on AMI and regulates intestinal flora. Raw hawthorn pectin from hawthorn (RHP) is high methoxyl pectin, which is able to protect injury induced by AMI.

Hawthorn ( Bunge) has been highlighted as an excellent source of a variety of bioactive polymers, which has attracted increasing research interest. Pectin, as a kind of soluble dietary fiber in hawthorn, is mainly extracted by hot water extraction and ultrasonic or enzymatic hydrolysis and is then extensively used in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. Numerous studies have shown that hawthorn pectin and its derived oligosaccharides exhibit a wide range of biological activities, such as antioxidant activity, hypolipidemic and cholesterol-reducing effects, antimicrobial activity, and intestinal function modulatory activity.

In this study, the complexation ability of HG-type hawthorn pectin with trivalent iron ions after de-esterification was investigated. The moderate esterification reaction could significantly increase the iron content in HG-type hawthorn pectin. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments proved that -OH and -COOH in the pectin acted as a bridge connecting Fe leading to the formation of β-FeOOH structure, and the trivalent iron ions were successfully complexed into the HG-type hawthorn pectin.
