Pectin CA is a gelling agent extracted from citrus fruit peel and
then chemically transformed to provide it with special properties.
It is a pectin intended for light or naturally low sugar applications
(Brix degree less than 30).
Properties: Gelling agent
Recommended dosage:
0.5 - 1.5%.
Recommendations for use:
• It is advisable to mix Pectin CA with powdered sugar before
adding the liquid part of the recipe in order to facilitate dispersion
and avoid the formation of lumps.
• Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring regularly to ensure
complete dissolution and hydration.
• Cook until a minimum Brix of 40 (for fruit topping) to 60 (for
neutral topping)
• Add a sufficient quantity of a 50% Citrix solution to reach a pH
below 3.5
• Immediately pour into the desired container or mold. Complete
gelation occurs once the mass has cooled and requires at least 24
hours to interact with the available calcium
Examples of typical applications: light fruit jellies,
compotes
Comment / Limitations: Pectin CA interacts with calcium, which
then allows it to gel. In most cases, the residual calcium content
of the preparation is sufficient and does not require additional
ingredients. If, despite everything, an addition is necessary for
particular recipes, you can use Calcium LA
