Pectin

Pectin

Pectin is a natural plant-based hydrocolloid extracted mainly from citrus peels and apple pomace. It is widely used as a gelling agent and texturizer, especially in fruit-based and acidic food products.

Pectin works by forming a gel network in the presence of sugar and acid (or calcium, depending on type). It allows manufacturers to create smooth, stable textures with clean flavor release. Because it is naturally derived and label-friendly, pectin is a preferred choice in products positioned as natural or clean-label.
