Stabilizing apple pectins

APUNA® Solution PECT

Pectins have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract of pets. They are not broken down by the animals’ own enzymes and are therefore available as a substrate for the bacterial community in the large intestine. Furthermore, they enhance the viscosity of the chyme, which is especially beneficial in cases of high passage rates, and safeguard the mucous membranes.

APUNA® Solution PECT is a product group comprising various pectins, e.g., high- and low-esterified pectins, but also customized pectin blends.

Benefits of pectin

The 3-fold effect when feeding pets

Increase in viscosity

  • Pectin reduces the passage rate of the feed
  • Pectin helps food remain in the digestive tract longer
  • This gives the animal more time to absorb the necessary nutrients

Double mucous membrane protection

  • Pectin protects the intestinal mucosa physically and biologically
  • Pectin reduces the adhesion of facultative pathogenic bacteria
  • Pectin soothes irritation and inflammation of the mucous membranes

Prebiotic effect

  • Pectin is fermented in the large intestine. This releases fatty acids, which serve as nutrients for the intestinal wall
  • This results in a moderate lowering of the pH value
  • This helps to create the optimal conditions for a stable microbiome in the large intestine
