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 />

When compared<br />
to conventional<br />
low methoxyl<br />
pectin (LMC) types,<br />
the use level with<br />
<strong>GENU</strong> Explorer<br />
can be reduced<br />
up to 40% while<br />
maintaining texture<br />
and gel strength. At<br />
equivalent use levels,<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 />
amidated (LMA) pectins 0has<br />
been available for years. The uniqueness of<br />
<strong>GENU</strong> Explorer pectin is the ability to produce low sugar products with<br />
new texture possibilities. Source: MINTEL Global New Products Database, August 2009<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 />
