Answer to Question 1

It acts as a preservative. High sugar concentrations cause any bacterium to lose water by osmosis. Without water bacteria cannot survive.

Answer to Question 2

Pectin gels, thickens and stabilizes the mixture of fruit juice and sucrose.

The insoluble pectin fibers produce a mesh-like structure that traps the fruit juice, much like a sponge absorbs water. This enables a gel to form.
