Methoxyl Pectin
What is Pectin?
Pectin is a soluble fibre
(polysaccharide) found in fruits. It is
used as a thickener and a stabilizer in cooking and baking, helping jams,
jellies, and fruit preserves set. It is also sometimes used to make medicine.
Pectin is a naturally occurring
thickener and stabilizer and is found in the cell walls of most fruits and
vegetables. When heated with sugar and
acid (citric acid), Pectin forms a kind of mesh that traps liquid, and as it
cools, it sets into a firm gel or jelly like consistency.
Certain fruits like apples, quince,
currants, cranberries, grapes, and citrus, naturally contain high levels of Pectin.
That’s why marmalade gets so glossy and
cranberries transform into that wobbly semisolid texture. Other fruits like strawberries, peaches, sour
cherries, rhubarb, tomatoes, and pears, have much lower Pectin levels. Instead of firming up when exposed to heat,
these fruits are more likely to turn soft. To make them into jam, you’ll typically need
to add more sugar and / or an extra thickening agent, like commercial Pectin
powder.
Commercial Pectin powders are usually
made from apple and / or citrus rinds. It is sold as a dry powder and in liquid form
making it a simple to us ingredient at home or commercially.
There are two main types of Pectin
powders: High Methoxyl (HM) and Low Methoxyl
(LM). High Methoxyl Pectin is the most
common type and is often labelled "fast- or rapid-set" or
"slow-set”. This is best used for
chunky jams and marmalades. We supply
the High Methoxyl Pectin.
Use &
Benefits:
Pectin is used to thicken recipes that
include Low-Pectin fruits. Some fruits,
especially very ripe ones, have relatively little Pectin. For these fruits that are Low-Pectin, you will
need to add Pectin Powder, when making jelly or jam so they can properly set. Without Pectin, it may require adding lots of
sugar, cooking for excessively long times, or both, which results in a jam or
jelly that tastes less like the fruit.
To find out how much pectin is in the
fruit, combine 1 tablespoon of grain alcohol or 95% alcohol or ethanol and 1
teaspoon of the fruit's juice. If it
sets up firm, it's high in Pectin. If
the mixture becomes a loose, gelatinous mass, it's medium on the Pectin scale. If it doesn't set at all or forms slivers of
gel, it's low in Pectin.
Pectin can also be used in other
dishes that require food to gel or thicken and as a fat substitute in some
baked goods. Powdered pectin
traditionally should be added to the fruit pre-boiling stage.
If you’re just starting to cook with Pectin,
try an easy jam recipe, like this favourite strawberry jam. Since strawberries are a Low-Pectin fruit, adding
Pectin powder will help to thicken the fruit in minutes. Cherry jam and blueberry jam also benefit from
added Pectin powder.
Some Health Benefits:
Apple Pectin is a prebiotic, promoting
gut health by feeding the beneficial bacteria in your digestive tract. Pectin may help you feel full for longer,
which could aid weight loss. However,
results are mixed, and further studies are necessary.
Apple Pectin may aid blood sugar
control, heart health, relieve diarrhoea and constipation, enhance iron
absorption, improve acid reflux, however, but more studies are needed.
