Product Introduction

Product Description

E440 Pectin is classified as a polysaccharide composed mainly of galacturonic acid units. In food manufacturing, it functions as a thickener, gelling agent, and stabilizer, ensuring optimal product consistency and shelf stability. In the confectionery industry, pectin is particularly valued for producing a tender, elastic gel structure that withstands storage and transportation without syneresis. Its performance remains reliable across a wide pH range, making it suitable for acidic fruit-based recipes, dairy blends, and functional foods.
