About This Product
Low methoxyl pectin (HM) with added calcium: Louis Francois Pectin NH Nappage "Glazing" is a blend of food additives used as a texturant. It is a thickener and/or gelling agent (in presence of calcium) particularly suited to the manufacture of gelling glazings with fruit pulp at a dosage of 0.80 to 1.20 % according to the formulation and to the required texture.
Pectin NH Nappage is thermally reversible. It can be set, re-melted, and set again.

DISPERSION:
To disperse the product without lumps:

- or, disperse it in a non-solvent medium (oil, alcohol, concentrated sugar solutions > 65° Brix).

DISSOLUTION:
The dissolution of the product depends on the medium and the process: it is improved by heat treatment (time, temperature), shear-stress (propeller, homogenizer). A complete dissolution is rapidly obtained at 80 / 85°C (176 / 185°F). It can be difficult in a high calcium medium (hard water > 80 ppm Ca++, milk), then it requires extra time or sequestering salts.
Application:
- The product can be used in aqueous or fruit media.
- The maximum dosage is about 3% in cold water and 6 to 8 % in hot water.
- The gelification, due to pectin with calcium interaction, occurs during cooling. The final texture is obtained after 24 hours.
- It is thermoreversible (easy to remelt)
