In foods and beverages such as yogurts, jams, fruit-flavoured drinks and acidified dairy drinks, pectin serves as a versatile, natural and highly functional ingredient providing texture and stability.
Because pectin benefits from a positive, recognizable profile among consumers, it is ideally suited for consumer products supporting clean labels, circularity and sustainability, including plant-based, organic, vegan and vegetarian product formulations.
