MERON High Methoxyl Pectin 100 g

High Methoxyl (HM) Pectin is a natural, plant-based gelling and texturising agent commonly extracted from citrus fruits and apples. Widely used in bakery, confectionery, dairy, and fruit-based applications, HM Pectin is particularly suitable for products with high soluble-solids content and an acidic pH. It forms firm, smooth, and stable gels through the interaction of pectin, sugar, and acid, making it ideal for traditional jams, jellies, marmalades, fruit preserves, fillings, and confectionery products. HM Pectin typically gels effectively at sugar concentrations of around 55% or higher and within an acidic pH range of approximately 2.5-3.5. It provides excellent texture and structure, good processing stability, and does not require calcium for gel formation.
