Product Details
Pectin is a naturally-occurring polysacharride found in many plants. It has long been the mechanism by which jams and jellies are thickened. High-methoxyl pectin requires a significant amount of sugar to gel properly, but low-methoxyl pectin requires less,which is why low-methoxyl pectin has become popular for pastries and molecular recipes designed not to be as sweet.
Low-methoxyl pectin can be used as a gelling agent, thickening agent and stabilizer. Low-methoxyl pectin can be used as a fat substitute in baked goods and to stabilize acidic protein drinks such as drinking yogurt.Pectin is a natural polysaccharide (starch) product extracted from plants, usually from apples or the fibrous cells of citrus peels.
