Newgreen Supply High Quality Food Additives Apple Pectin Powder Bulk
Product Description
Pectin is a natural polysaccharide, mainly extracted from the cell walls of fruits and plants, and is especially abundant in citrus fruits and apples. Pectin is widely used in the food industry, mainly as a thickening agent, gelling agent and stabilizer.
Main features of pectin:
Natural Source: Pectin is a naturally occurring component in plants and is generally considered a healthy food additive.
Solubility: Pectin is soluble in water, forming a gel-like substance with good thickening and coagulation capabilities.
Coagulation under acidic conditions: Pectin combines with sugar in an acidic environment to form a gel, so it is often used in the production of jams and jelly.

Funtion
Thickening and solidification: Used to make jams, jelly, pudding and other foods to provide ideal taste and texture.
Stabilizer: In foods such as dairy products and salad dressings, pectin can help maintain an even distribution of ingredients and prevent stratification.
Improve taste: Pectin can increase the viscosity of food and make the taste richer.
Low-calorie substitute: As a thickening agent, pectin can reduce the amount of sugar used and is suitable for the production of low-calorie foods.
Application
Food Industry: Widely used in jam, jelly, beverages, dairy products, etc.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Capsules and suspensions for the preparation of pharmaceuticals.
Cosmetics: Acts as a thickener and stabilizer to improve the texture of the product.
Pectin has become an important additive in food and other industries because of its natural and healthy properties.
