How to Use: Mix the pectin with the sugar. Incorporate to the pulp with strong agitation, bring to boiling point and add the acid. Recommended activation temperature: 90 °C. Gelling temperature: 25-70 °C (depending on pH and amount of sugar).
Ingredients: thickener: pectin (e440i), sucrose, acidity correctors: tripotassium citrate (e332ii), tetrasodium diphosphate (e450iii), citric acid (e330)
Is Pectin Jaune thermo-reversible or thermo-irreversible?
It is thermo-irreversible, which means that, once it gels, it cannot be liquefied again with heat. This is ideal for products that must maintain their shape during cooking or storage.
Is it necessary to adjust the acid in the recipe when using Pectin Jaune?
Yes, acid is crucial to activate gelling. It should be added at the end of the cooking process for optimal gelling.
How does the sugar level and pH affect gelation?
Pectin Jaune requires a high soluble solids content (TSS > 55%) and a pH between 3.1 and 3.8 to gel optimally. The sugar acts as a gelation activator and the acid finalizes the process.
