MERON High Methoxyl Pectin 1 Kg

High Methoxyl (HM) Pectin is a natural, plant-based polysaccharide commonly derived from citrus fruits and apples. Widely used in bakery, confectionery, dairy, and fruit-based applications, HM Pectin is a versatile gelling and texturising agent that provides firm, smooth, and well-structured gels. It is particularly suited to formulations with high soluble-solids content and an acidic environment.HM Pectin forms gels through the interaction of pectin, sugar, and acid. It typically performs effectively at sugar concentrations of around 55% or higher and within an acidic pH range of approximately 2.5-3.5. This makes it especially suitable for traditional jams, jellies, marmalades, fruit preserves, fillings, and confectionery products.Unlike Low Methoxyl Pectin, HM Pectin does not require calcium ions to form a gel. The combination of sufficient soluble solids and acidity promotes gel formation, resulting in a firm and stable texture. HM Pectin also offers good stability during normal heating and processing conditions, making it suitable for applications that require cooking or pasteurisation.
