Processors must also be able to produce with consistent quality.<br />

Manufacturers want a stabilizer with excellent tolerance to variations in<br />

fruit type and calcium and that is robust against extended hold times and<br />

fluctuating fill temperatures.<br />

Such flexibility leads to easier-to-run products and less down time.<br />

<strong>CP</strong> <strong>Kelco</strong> has responded to both the consumer and manufacturing needs<br />

by creating the <strong>GENU</strong> ® Explorer family of pectin products that not only<br />

address the consumer demand but makes manufacturing fruit products<br />

easier and simpler.<br />

Introducing <strong>GENU</strong><br />

<strong>GENU</strong> Explorer pectin<br />

Conventional LM pectin (LMC)<br />

Explorer Pectin<br />

Pectin is found in nature in fruits and vegetables. Its natural purpose is to<br />

contribute to the overall firmness of the fruit or vegetable. It is for this very<br />

reason, and its unique spreadable texture, that pectin is the preferred gelling<br />

agent for jams, jellies, fruit spreads and preserves. Pectin is well known by<br />

consumers and widely accepted as a label-friendly ingredient.<br />

Like all <strong>GENU</strong> ® Pectin, the <strong>GENU</strong> Explorer family begins with citrus peel,<br />

prepared in accordance with <strong>CP</strong> <strong>Kelco</strong>’s high quality standards. However,<br />

unlike commonly produced pectins, <strong>GENU</strong> Explorer pectins undergo a<br />

unique, proprietary process, that significantly maintains the molecular<br />

properties found in nature. This novel production process provides a<br />

more robust, user-friendly and more functional product.<br />

Differentiating Properties of <strong>GENU</strong><br />

Explorer<br />

Supports Natural and Organic label claims.<br />

The US National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) lists both low methoxyl<br />

(LM) and high methoxyl (HM) pectins as being suitable for use in organic<br />

labeled products. As specialty LMC and HM pectins, none of the products<br />

in the <strong>GENU</strong> Explorer family undergo amidation. All of the products in the<br />

<strong>GENU</strong> Explorer family support both natural and organic label claims *, 2 .<br />

<strong>GENU</strong> Explorer<br />

pectin gives 50-100%<br />

more gel strength<br />

than standard LMC<br />

pectin.<br />

This provides the<br />

Deposit Temperature (<br />

opportunity to create a product with good gel strength using reasonable<br />

pectin levels. Traditional formulations required ‘over-dosing’ with LMC in<br />

order to generate the desired texture.<br />

Considering reduced pectin usage and reduction in transport costs and<br />

inventory volumes, this delivers a comparable cost-in-use.<br />

The ability to produce low 50 sugar jams and fruit spreads using low methoxyl<br />

been available for years. The uniqueness of<br />

To illustrate the texture with <strong>GENU</strong> Explorer pectin, as shown here, both<br />

slices of bread show a 33% soluble solids strawberry spread. The spread on<br />

the left (reference) has been formulated using traditional LMA pectin.<br />

The spread on the right is using <strong>GENU</strong> Explorer pectin.<br />

Compared to the reference, the<br />

spread produced with <strong>GENU</strong><br />

Explorer pectin has a less gelled<br />

texture which is easier to apply<br />

on the bread and could be<br />

said to have a more appealing<br />

appearance.<br />
