Andre Pectin HM PECTIN
Andre Pectin HM Pectins are composed of more than 50% of esterified galacturonic acid units. We offer a broad range of different DE from 50% to 78%. HM Pectins are standardized either to specific setting temperatures, viscosities, calcium reactivity, protein stabilizing capacity or specific buffer capacity. More information about these Pectin types can also be found in our detailed application brochures.

- Product Information
Gelation of HM pectin generally occurs spontaneously during cooling from a heated aqueous solution in the presence of high solids, usually sugars above 55%, with pH below 3.5. Lower sugar content requires generally higher acidity and vice versa higher solids content lower acidity for optimal gelation. A higher degree of esterification results in higher setting temperatures of the gels, which is correlated to a quicker gelling speed. This fact leads to the rule that HM pectins are categorized into a range from ultra rapid to extra slow set pectins. Also as a general rule in this context, it can be said, that higher DE will result in more elastic and brittle gel textures.
