- Main Uses
- T.B. Fruit Apple pectin HM-MRS 1 is widely used as a thickener, emulsifier and stabilizer in the food industry in the production of: marshmallows, marmalade, cream for cakes; jellies, jams, mousses; yogurts and ice cream.
- Recommended dose: 0.4-1.2%, the content of soluble solids 55 -70% in accordance with the specified recipe and the requirements of the structure of the final product.
- Recommendations for Dissolution
- To dissolve the product without lumps you need: - pre-mix pectin with other ingredients in powder form and quantitatively transfer the mixture into the liquid with constant vigorous stirring.
- Continue stirring until completely dissolved - or dissolve the powder in an insoluble medium (butter, sugar syrup with a dry matter content > 65% Brix).
- Dissolution of the product depends on the environment and the process: it improves with heating (time, temperature) and mixing (stirrer, mixer, homogenizer).
- Complete dissolution of the product is achieved at a temperature of - 80 - 85 ̊C (176 - 185 ̊F).
- It is more difficult to dissolve in a medium with a high content of Ca ²⁺ (hard water > 80 ppm Ca 2+ , milk), in which case additional time or complexing salts are required.
