What does Dutch Opekta Company mean?

The Dutch Opekta Company was a business founded in the early 20th century by Otto Frank, the father of Anne Frank. It specialized in the production of pectin, a substance used as a gelling agent in food, particularly for making jams and jellies. The company is often noted for its historical significance, as it was during the time of its operation that the Frank family went into hiding from the Nazis during World War II. The name "Opekta" itself is derived from the term "Opekta," which refers to the pectin product they produced.
