    Solution

    Pectin is a naturally occurring substance found in the cell walls of fruits, particularly in underripe or unripe fruits. It is a complex carbohydrate that, when combined with sugar and acid under the right conditions, forms a gel structure. This gelatinous structure is what gives jelly its characteristic texture.
