Pectin Medium Rapid Set

Louis François Medium Rapid Set Pectin is a highly methoxylated pectin with a rapid setting time.
It gels under the following conditions:

• Minimum soluble solids content: 60%
• In the presence of acid: pH < 3.5

Pectin particularly suitable for jam making at 0.3 to 1.2% depending on final dry extract and desired texture.
Gelling is achieved by adding acid to the solution after cooking. The result is a more or less firm gel, depending on the dosage and final dry extract.
The gel is heat-resistant and not stable to freezing.
