'''Pectic acid''', also known as '''polygalacturonic acid''' is a water insoluble, ] gelatinous ] existing in ripe ] and some ]. It is a product of ] degradation in plants, and is produced via the interaction between ] and pectin (the latter being common in the wine-making industry). '''Pectic acid''', also known as '''polygalacturonic acid''', is a water-soluble, ] gelatinous ] existing in over-ripe ] and some ]. It is a product of ] degradation in plants, and is produced via the interaction between ] and ] (the latter being common in the wine-making industry.) In the early stage of development of fruits, the pectic substance is a water-insoluble protopectin which is converted into pectin by the enzyme protopectinase during ripening of fruit. In over-ripe fruits, due to the presence of pectic methyl esterase enzyme, the pectin gets largely converted to pectic acid which is water-insoluble. Due to this reason both immature and over-ripe fruits are not suitable for making jelly and only ripe fruits are used.
