Quince pulp stands out for its pectin content, soluble fiber that exerts various physiological functions, which makes the very interesting quinces in different situations or illnesses.

Tannins desinflaman dried and intestinal mucosa (inside layer lining the digestive tract), so that consumption of ripe or as sweet quince is effective in the treatment of diarrhea. Moreover, pectin pH increases (decreases acidity) to reach the well mixed acid and neutralized with food and fiber itself, so consumption quince is indicated if gastric (stomach can, gastritis, disorders gastroduodenal …) ulcer. A wealth in pectin, joins the abundant malic acid in its pulp, mucous exerted on regulatory and toning actions. In addition, the soluble fiber form viscous gels that fix the fat and cholesterol, thus reducing the absorption of these substances, and this is positive in case of hypercholesterolemia.
