ABSTRACT
The effect of pectin on lowering the sodium nitrite intoxication was studied. It was found statistically significant reduction in the concentration of blood methemoglobin and blood plasma nitrite ions in rats intoxicated with sodium nitrite and fed diets with 5 and 10% pectin. These indices did not further change upon the increase of diet proportion of pectin to 15%.
