How is Apple Pectin made?

The Apple Pectin found in supplements starts life in a processing plant where the pectin is extracted from apple pomace (the solid remains after juicing) by adding hot diluted acid. After a few hours, the proto-pectin turns into liquid and is then filtered and the pectin extracted by way of vacuum.
