Pectin

Pectin is an essential ingredient for adding firmness to your sweet preparations while respecting various dietary needs. Explore our selection of pectin and other gelling agents to create jams, jellies, mousses, and much more.

What is pectin?

Pectin is a natural, plant-based substance found in many fruits, such as apples, citrus fruits, and quinces. It acts as a natural gelling agent, commonly used to thicken and stabilize various culinary preparations. In pastry, it is used to make jams, jellies, marmelades, as well as tarts, desserts and mousses. Unlike gelatin, pectin is 100% plant-based, making it an ideal choice for those following vegetarian, vegan, or halal diets. With its thickening properties, it ensures firm and flavourful preparations while maintaining a pleasant and consistent texture.

How to replace pectin?

In some recipes, pectin can be replaced with other natural gelling agents such as agar-agar or guar gum. Agar-agar, derived from red algae, is perfect for creating jellies, jams, and mousses. It offers a gelling power similar to pectin and is ideal for light desserts without animal products. Guar gum, on the other hand, is known for its ability to thicken sauces, creams, jellies, and frozen preparations. If you want to work with dairy-based preparations, opt for carrageenan, another plant-based gelling agent extracted from red algae, which provides a gelling power close to that of pectin.

Yellow pectin for your fruit pastes

Yellow pectin is an essential ingredient for making delicious fruit pastes. Thanks to its gelling ability, it provides a perfect texture that is both soft and melting in the mouth. To succeed with your fruit pastes, choosing the right pectin is crucial. Yellow pectin, often used by professionals, stands out for its high gelling power, ensuring optimal results.
