Pectin (E440) is a plant-based gelling agent obtained from apple pomace and citrus peel, and the natural vegan alternative to gelatine. It is the classic texturizer for jams, fruit preparations, fruit gums and bakery fillings, and is increasingly used in dairy and plant-based desserts and acidified milk drinks, where it stabilizes proteins. Depending on the application, high-methoxyl pectin is used for high-sugar systems such as jams and confectionery, while low-methoxyl pectin gels with calcium and is suitable for reduced-sugar products. Roeper supplies apple and citrus pectin with full documentation and application support to help you choose the right type for your recipe.
