Research of the pectin isolated from fresh fruits of cranberry high for sorption ability in relation to ion of lead, and also infl uence of temperature on sorption capacity have been conducted in the work. The maximum extent of extraction of lead by pectin made 29,2 % from initial concentration of ions of lead within one hour, and sorption process is better described by Langmuir’s equation. Sorption properties decrease when freezing (by 4,2 % at T = –18°C), more considerably decrease at heat treatment (by 4,2 % at T = 100°C within an hour). Thus, pectin isolated of fresh fruits of cranberry high, can be recommended as a detoxicant that assumes development of a medicinal form on his basis, but without application of heat treatment and conservation by cold.
