Pectin is a natural fiber extracted from fruits such as apples and citrus, widely used as a gelling agent, stabilizer, and thickener in food and beverage applications. It is particularly effective in jams, jellies, and fruit-based products, where it ensures consistent texture and shelf stability.
This versatile ingredient also offers prebiotic benefits, supporting digestive health and clean-label initiatives. Its high solubility and neutral taste make it a preferred choice for innovative formulations targeting health-conscious consumers.
Pectin enhances texture and functionality while aligning with the growing demand for natural and sustainable ingredients in food production.
