How much pectin is in one large apple?
The fat-lowering effects of apple have traditionally been associated with its soluble fiber content, and in particular, with its fat-soluble fiber called pectin. What we now know, however, is that whole apples only contain approximately 2-3 grams of fiber per 3.5 ounces, and that pectin accounts for less than 50% of this total fiber.

About Grams of Fiber
Fiber is necessary for the healthy functioning of the digestive system. Whole grain breads, fruits and vegetables, and whole grain cereals are good sources of fiber. Most diets that are not 'fad' diets recommend healthy quantities of fiber in the diet.
