Andre Pectin LM Pectins are composed of less than 50% of esterified galacturonic acid units. DE typically ranges from 30% to 48%. We offer a broad range of LM Pectins with different calcium sensitivities. Gel formation of LM Pectin occurs in the presence of calcium ions or similar cations within a wide range of pH values at soluble solids levels below 50%. Lower DE generally increases the calcium reactivity and less cations are needed for optimal gel formation.
