Features & Benefits
- Food Ingredients Features
- General Properties
Pectoluc has excellent ability to impart texture. Its main properties are:
- Soluble in hot water.
- Creamy-Light Brown free flowing coarse powder.
- Capable of forming gels with high contents of soluble solids and low pH values.
- The classical application is giving the jelly-like consistency to jams or marmalades.
- Chemically it consists primarily of a chain of galacturonic acid units, which are linked by α-1, 4 glycosidic bonds. The galacturonic acid chain is partially esterified as methyl esters. The functional properties of pectin are largely determined by the degree of esterification (DE) of the pectin molecules.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Preparation of Solutions
Pectoluc is a polymer soluble in hot water. Rapid dissolution requires even dispersion of Pectoluc particles in the aqueous medium. For that reason, intense agitation of the solution is necessary when introducing Pectoluc. Insufficient dispersion will cause lumps. Pre-blending Pectoluc with other dry ingredients facilitates the preparation of Pectoluc solutions.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
This product is available in 25 Kg laminated paper bags as a moisture barrier.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Details
- Store product in a dry and cool place, away from heat and out of the sun. Once package is opened, consume within reasonable time. Store opened and unused packages after adequate re-sealing to avoid contamination and moisture ingress. Shelf life is 2 years from the date of manufacture.
- Pectoluc solutions, however, although more resistant to microbial attack than most other water soluble polymers, should be protected by adequate preservatives when storage time shall exceed 24 hours. Pectoluc is compatible with most commonly used preservatives.
