Dietary soluble fibre has gained consumer attention due to its supposed health benefits, which include lowering plasma cholesterol levels and slowing glucose absorption. Also getting a lot of attention is pectin, which is a major component of dietary fibre. The intrinsic features of pectin, variations in molecular weight across pectins, and the quantity of esterified methoxyl groups to galacturonic acid are some of the chemistry-related factors that draw attention to this soluble fibre. Research on pectin's physicochemical properties is mostly driven by the food industry's interest in the substance and its possible use in food products to enhance various qualities, such as water-holding capacity, gel consistency, and viscosity. Scientists have speculated about the unique effects of pectin on lipid, carbohydrate, mineral, and vitamin metabolism in the gastrointestinal system due to its physicochemical qualities. The unique chemical and biological characteristics of pectin have made it a hot topic in the field of biomedicine as of late. Pectin and other cell-instructive polymers are promising natural biomaterials for regenerative medicine. Furthermore, pectin-based composites and bioactive pectin both have enhanced properties that make them ideal for delivering active compounds. In vivo, pectin and pectin-based composites promote cell adhesion and proliferation, increase tissue remodelling, and function as interactive matrices or scaffolds. Tissue engineering and drug delivery systems benefit from pectin and pectin-based composites because of their immunoregulatory, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antioxidant actions, among other bioactive features. Nontoxicity, tunable mechanical qualities, biodegradability, and appropriate surface properties are critical elements of tissue engineering scaffolds that contain pectin or pectin-based conjugates or composites. Tissue engineering and medication distribution are two areas where pectic composites shine because to their adaptability in design and production.
