Citrus Pectin Powder 3.5 oz.

Description

Citrus Pectin 100g is the ideal ingredient for achieving perfect textures in jams, jellies, and baked goods. With its natural citrus origin, this pectin offers excellent gelling properties, ensuring consistent, professional results in your creations.

Citric pectin is used in pastry making primarily as a gelling and thickening agent to create textures such as in jams, jellies, preserves, and fillings. It is activated in the presence of sugar and an acid (such as lemon juice), and helps achieve more consistent and glossy textures, while also helping to retain moisture in baked goods.

Specific uses in pastry making:

Jams, jellies, and preserves: It is ideal for making fruit preparations that thicken properly with a short cooking time. It is combined with sugar and citric acid or lemon juice to achieve gelation.

Fillings for cakes and tarts: It is used to create stable fillings with the desired consistency, such as for cakes and macarons.

Gummy candies (Pâte de Fruits): It functions as the main gelling agent for these sweets.

Baked goods: It helps retain moisture in doughs such as bread and cakes, which can extend their shelf life. Glazes: It can improve the texture and shine of toppings and glazes.

Benefits of using citrus pectin:

Versatility: It works well in recipes with different levels of sugar and acidity.

Efficiency: It allows for reduced cooking times, which helps preserve a fresher flavor in preparations.

Texture: It helps achieve consistent and stable textures.

Flavor: Because it is extracted from citrus peels, it does not usually have a flavor that interferes with the flavor of the preparation.
