Pectin is a polysaccharide that forms part of the cell wall of plants, together with cellulose. Commercial pectin is mainly obtained from apple pulp and citrus peel.
The pectin undergoes a process of extraction from the cell matrix and is then purified to remove the remains of the peel and pulp. The liquid obtained is subjected to a precipitation that separates the pectin from the water and the precipitate is then pressed, dried and ground.
The variety of pectin has been growing by enhancing one or another of their properties. Before choosing a pectin, it is necessary to know the characteristics of the application we want to make, which will determine which type of pectin is most recommendable. Although these values can help us to define the behavior of a pectin, its properties are linked to the temperature and speed of gelling, the degree of viscosity and its thermostability.
Mostly in fruit products such as jams, marmalades and other fruit preparations, in juices and juice-milk mixtures. It is used in dairy preparations providing stability and creaminess.
