Just reading the conclusion will show that their 'study' holds no water ...

CONCLUSION: Pectin appears to be an effective adulterant for immunoassay drug screen.
We speculate that its mechanism of action is due to the drug molecules being trapped in the three-dimensional pectin structure and thus become unavailable to the antibody in the immunoassay system.
Sorry. But speculation is not evidence. No validation made here.
