What it is

Low methoxyl amidated pectin is a modified form of pectin, a natural gelling agent found in fruits like apples and citrus peels. It is produced by treating regular pectin with alcohol and then reacting it with ammonia to create amide groups, which affects its gelling properties.

Why it's used

This ingredient is used as a stabilizer and thickener in various food products. It helps create a desired texture and consistency, particularly in low-sugar or sugar-free jams, jellies, and dairy-based desserts. It is also found in some baked goods and meat products.

Health notes

Low methoxyl amidated pectin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It functions as a dietary fiber and is not associated with adverse health effects at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated pectin and its derivatives, and they are permitted for use in food.

Allergen info

Pectin is derived from fruits and is not a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
