Pectin

UTS Group offers pectins: for confectionery, for fruit fillings, for dairy products and for drinks. Pectin is a natural water-soluble polysaccharide obtained as a result of aqueous extraction of vegetable raw materials - citrus and apple. Pectins are odorless powders and slimy in taste from light cream to brown. Citrus pectins are usually lighter than apple pectins. In a humid atmosphere, pectins can absorb up to 20% of water. The main property of pectin is the ability to gel and create the structure of the product. Pectins are classified according to the degree of methoxylation (degree of esterification) - the ratio of the number of methoxyl groups to all acid residues in the molecule. The degree of esterification has a significant impact on the basic properties of pectins. Pectin can be used in the manufacture of organic products, as well as used in kosher and halal production.
