Overview

Description

High methoxyl pectin contains more methyl carboxylate, and its content is more than 50%. High methoxyl pectin has the ability to form gels in aqueous systems with high levels of soluble solids and low pH. Gels made of high methoxyl pectin have a strong structure and short molecules, thus having good clarity and odor. The gel of high methoxy pectin is an irreversible gel. In addition to gel time, SAG, gel strength, gel temperature, viscosity and protein stability are important considerations for high methoxy pectins.
