Se supone que la pectina tiene el efecto del primer caso?
Buenas:
La receta de la pectina (en un post puse peptina) se me ha colado en otro post, pero la resumo aqu:

Los fijadores de este tipo actan efectivamente de dos formas sinergicas, vamos que se ayudan:
Por una parte se unen con los compuestos aromticos mediante "puentes de hidrgeno", que son una especie de enlace
que se dan sin necesidad de que exista reaccin, pero que proporcionan una unin ms o menos estable entre dos espe
qumicas. Esto se debe a sus grupos -OH.
