Aglupectin HS-SBR150 is a high-methoxyl (high-ester) slow-set pectin (E440i) extracted from citrus peel. It is produced by the Italian company Silvateam and is designed primarily for confectionery applications.
Product details
- Composition: high-methoxyl slow-set pectin (E440i), dextrose
- Application: confectionery products, typical dosage 1.0–2.0%
- Country of origin: Italy
Instructions for use
It is recommended to dissolve Aglupectin HS-SBR150 in hot water under constant stirring before adding to the final food solution. As a slow-set pectin, it provides a longer working time before gelling occurs, which is advantageous in confectionery applications where the mass needs to be poured, deposited, or shaped before it sets.
Technological function
Aglupectin HS-SBR150 acts as a gelling agent in high-sugar, acidic environments. The slow-set characteristic means the gel forms gradually during cooling, allowing for more uniform filling of molds and better distribution of inclusions. It is suitable for fruit jellies, marmalade, confectionery glazes, and fruit-based fillings where a controlled setting time is required.
