Pectin is significant in jelly making because this substance causes jelly to set.
A mixture of slightly under ripe and ripe fruits is best for jelly-making. They are high in acid
and pectin content. If overripe fruits are used, the pectin changes into pectic acid. Pectic acid will not
form into jelly. Too green fruits, on the other hand, will not have enough flavors.
