About This Product

High methoxyl pectin (HM) with retardant salts: This product is a blend of food additives used as a texturing agent. It is a gelling agent (in an acid and much sweetened environment: SS > 76 %, pH = 3.2 - 3.5) particularly suited to the manufacture of confectionery with or without pulp, at a dosage of 1 to 2%. The gelification occurs by the addition of acid in solution after baking.

Use: 

• DISPERSION:
  To disperse the product without lumps:
  • premix the powder with the other dry ingredients, and pour the preparation into the liquid under efficient stirring in order to obtain a complete dispersion.
  • 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 sweetened or fruit media.
• The maximum dosage is about 3% in cold water and 6 to 8 % in hot water.
• The final texture is rather firm, and a little melting. The gel is not thermoreversible, heat-resistant.

Observations: Creamy-white to light brown-powder.  Odourless and tasteless.

Elaborations: Gummies, jelly beans, pâte de fruit and bakery fillings.
