Citrus Pectin APC
Citrus Pectin APC is a high-methoxy pectin derived from citrus peel (lemon and/or lime), processed to a standardized degree of esterification (DE) and gelling grade (APC). High-methoxy pectins gel in the presence of high sugar concentrations and low pH conditions (pH 2.8–3.5) — precisely the conditions of traditional fruit jams, marmalades, and fruit confectionery. Beyond gelling, pectin functions as a soluble dietary fiber with documented prebiotic effects (selectively stimulating Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus) and cholesterol-lowering properties via bile acid sequestration in the intestine.
