Pectin is a structural polysaccharide of the cell wall of plants, Commercial pectin is commonly extracted from apples and citrus fruits. Pectin is an important polysaccharide with applications in foods, Pharmaceuticals, and a number of other industries. Pectin can be used for numerous applications, mainly because it is a safe, non-toxic product with low production cost and high availability. Widely using in jams, fruit juices, desserts, dairy products, jellies, and more recently in lowcalorie foods as a fat and/or sugar replacer. Its importance in the food sector lies in its ability to form gel in the presence of calcium ions or a solute at low pH. pH, presence of other solutes, molecular size, degree of methoxylation, number and arrangement of side chains, and charge density on the molecule can influence the gelation of pectin. Meron offers two types of pectin HM Pectin & LM pectin.

Gelling and Thickening Power

Low Methoxyl Pectin delivers excellent gelling and thickening in foods, especially in the presence of calcium ions. Its low degree of esterification allows for gel formation without high sugar content, making it ideal for reduced-sugar or sugar-free recipes.

Safe, Pure & Food Grade

This pectin is manufactured under rigorous quality controls, ensuring all food-grade microbiological standards are met. With a purity over 85% and less than 0.001% heavy metals, Merons Pectin LM provides processors with a trustworthy, high-quality thickener.

Versatile Food Applications

Merons Pectin LM's unique properties make it suitable for jams, jellies, dairy desserts, fruit spreads, and confectionery. Its solubility in water combined with a neutral taste and odor ensures seamless integration into various food products.

FAQ's of Meron's Pectin LM:

Q: How does Merons Pectin LM form gels in food products?

A: Merons Pectin LM forms gels in the presence of calcium ions because of its low degree of esterification (DE<50%). Calcium ions create cross-links between pectin chains, resulting in stable gels even with low sugar content.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Low Methoxyl Pectin in food applications?

A: Low Methoxyl Pectin is beneficial for creating low-sugar or sugar-free jams, jellies, dairy desserts, and fruit preparations. Its calcium-activated gelling system allows for flexible formulation and improved texture without adding excess sugars.

Q: When should Merons Pectin LM be added during the food manufacturing process?

A: Merons Pectin LM should be dissolved in water and mixed thoroughly before adding calcium ions and other ingredients. This ensures the pectin is evenly distributed and enables optimal gelling when calcium is introduced.

Q: Where is Merons Pectin LM typically used?

A: Merons Pectin LM is commonly used by food manufacturers and exporters in India and globally in jams, jellies, fruit fillings, dairy desserts, and as a stabilizer in many processed foods.

Q: What is the recommended storage condition for Merons Pectin LM?

A: Store Merons Pectin LM in a cool, dry place away from light, preferably in its original 25 kg fiber drum or bag, to maintain its quality, solubility, and gelling capacity throughout its 24-month shelf life.

Q: How does the product's purity and allergen status benefit manufacturers?

A: With a purity greater than 85%, non-GMO status, and being allergen-free, Merons Pectin LM offers manufacturers safety, regulatory compliance, and consumer confidence in clean-label products.
