Product Information: Raw Materials

Citrus

Product Consist of:

High methoxyl pectin E 440i

Dextrose
Functionality: 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.

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.

Product Applications: Media/Uses

Food applications

The product can be used in sweetened or fruit media.

The maximum dosage is about 2.5 % in cold water and 4 to 5 % in hot water.

Texture

The final texture is rather firm, the gel is clear, transparent and not thermoreversible.

It is a gelling agent (in an acid and very sweetened medium : SS > 76 %, pH = 3.2 - 3.5) particularly suited to the manufacture of confectionery with or without pulp, at a dosage of 0.80 to 1.50 %. The gelification occurs by the addition of acid in solution at the end of process.
