High methoxyl pectin (high ester) with more than 50% of esterfication degree
Low methoxyl pectin (low ester) with less than 50% of esterfication degree
CHARACTERISTICS: Natural, Nutritious, Healthy
Pectin is a natural food additive which is poison-free and harmless. Because of its excellent gelling, stabilizing, thickening and emulsifying properties, it has been widely used in foods, nutriments, health products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc. As a high quality water-soluble dietary fiber, pectin is effective in removing heavy metals, balancing blood cholesterol, reducing blood sugar, reducing glucose and insulin concentration in blood serum after meal, and slowing assimilation of carbonhydrates after meal.

APPLICATION METHODS:
Dissolve: High methoxyl pectin mixed with 5 times of saccharine gradually stirred and dissolved into 85℃ water while later heated to boiling.
As gelling agent: For high methoxyl pectin solution, add in citric acid tartaric acids to make the PH in the range of 2.8-4.2, and sufficient (45-68% by weight) sugars such as sucrose. For low methoxyl pectin, when completed dissolution, add in small amount of Ca2+ ions (such as calcium gluconate or calciumchlonate), or adjust the PH value to 2.8-6.5 and amount of sugars to 10-55%.
As thickening agent: When dissolved, the pectin becomes a thick liquid, according the production need, use pectin solution accordingly.
Notes:
1. When dissolving pectin, do not expose it to high temperature excessively for more than 8 minutes.
2. Also, when dissolving pectin, stirring rapidly to prevent incomplete dissolving and affect usage.
3. Do not keep pectin solution for too long. Dissolve only when need.
