Pectin is a natural fiber found in fruits and vegetables. Extracted from apples, oranges, lemons, and limes, pectin is known for its excellent gelling, thickening, and stabilizing properties.
Pectin is used in the production of:
- fruit-based products (jams, preserves, syrups, toppings);
- bakery items (fruit fillings);
- confectionery (marshmallows, marmalades).
Depending on the degree of esterification, pectins are classified into:
- high-ester pectins;
- low-ester pectins;
- low-ester amidated pectins.
SOTU Trade offers a wide range of apple and citrus pectins from Andre Pectin (China).
