The difference between pectin and amylopectin is that amylopectin has more branching than pectin.

What is pectin?

  • "Pectin consists of a complex set of polysaccharides."
  • This has a linear chains of α-(1–4)-linked D-galacturonic acid.
  • This are mainly found in plants.
  • This helps in binding cells together.

What is amylopectin?

  • "Amylopectin is a highly branched macromolecule composed mostly of α-(1→4)-d-glucopyranose units, with α-(1→6)-linkages at intervals of approximately 20 units."
  • These are water insoluble.

Hence, the correct option is 3. Amylopectin has more branching.
