Pectin –
a Natural Product from Fruits
Already more than 200 years ago pectins were discovered
in fruits. However, not before the beginning
of the 20th century, their functional applicability in the
production of food was recognized.
Due to its gelling, thickening and stabilising properties
pectin have become increasingly important both
for the food industry and the cosmetic and pharmaceutical
industry.
Today, highly specialised pectins are mainly produced
from harvest-fresh dejuiced and carefully dried
apples resp. citrus fruits. The production process
from fruit to pectin requires much experience and
accuracy to guarantee the highest possible quality
and purity. There is hardly one pectin application
which could not be covered by an established H&F
pectin type.

sauces which do not form a skin during cooling,
