Product type
HM pectin, or high methoxyl pectin, is a natural gelling agent derived from citrus fruits and apples. It is commonly used in the food industry to create jams, jellies, and other fruit-based products due to its ability to form gels in the presence of sugar and acid. HM pectin is prized for its versatility and effectiveness in achieving desired textures in various food applications.
| Source | Citrus fruits and apples |
| Gelling temperature | Typically 60°C to 80°C |
| Methoxyl content | Minimum 50% to 75% |
| Viscosity | Varies based on concentration, typically 100 to 500 mPa·s |
| pH range for gel formation | 2.5 to 3.5 |
When selecting HM pectin, buyers should consider the desired gelling properties, including the methoxyl content and viscosity. It is also important to specify the intended application, as different formulations may be better suited for specific products. Certifications such as food safety standards and organic certifications may be relevant depending on the target market. Quantities can vary widely, so specifying the required volume is essential for accurate quotes.
