Product Description
The main use for Pectin is as a gelling agent, thickening agent and stabilizer in food. The classical application is giving the jelly-like consistency to jams or marmalades, which would otherwise be sweet juices.
In medicine, pectin increases viscosity and volume of stool so that it is used against constipation and diarrhea. Until 2002, Pectin was one of the main ingredients used in Kaopectate, along with kaolinite. Pectin is also used in throat lozenges as a demulcent. In cosmetic products, pectin acts as stabilizer. Pectin is also used in wound healing preparations and specialty medical adhesives, such as colostomy devices. Also, it is considered a natural remedy for nausea. Pectin rich foods are proven to help nausea.
Application
1. Jam and Jelly Production: Pectin is crucial for jams, jellies, and preserves because it helps these products to gel. It allows for a reduction in the amount of sugar needed while maintaining the desired consistency.
2. Fruit Juices and Nectars: In juices and nectars, pectin acts as a stabilizing agent, preventing the sedimentation of solid particles and improving the viscosity of the product.
3. Dairy Products: Pectin is used in dairy products like yogurt and custard to improve texture and prevent syneresis (the expulsion of whey).
4. Confectionery: In confectionery products, such as jelly beans and gummy bears, pectin contributes to the gelling process and provides a desirable texture.
5. Dietary Fiber Supplements: Pectin is also used as a soluble dietary fiber in supplements due to its health benefits, including improving digestive health.
6. Bakery Goods: In bakery items, pectin can help to extend shelf life and improve the texture of bread and cakes by affecting moisture retention.
7. Meat Products: It's used in meat products as a binder and emulsifier, helping to maintain the structure of products like patties and sausages.
8. Vegetarian and Vegan Products: Pectin finds use in vegetarian and vegan products as a natural alternative to gelatin for setting products like vegan jellies.
