  Apple pectin: the jellying agent

Pectins are used in the food industry for the preparation of stewed fruit, pastry, and baked products as an indispensable ingredient in many products in which jellying agents, thickeners and/or stabilizers are used for various reasons. In nutritional terms, pectins are considered fibres, and are contained in all relatively tall crops. Pectins are extracted from plants with high pectin content, such as apple skins or lemon rinds. The pectin is dissolved from the skins or rinds using boiling water or steam and is then extracted from the solution by means of alcohol. Pectin in flake form is washed with water, delicately dried and then jellied using sugar until the desired density is reached.
