GRINDSTED® Pectin

A Label-Friendly Hydrocolloid

Sourced from fruits — such as orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit — pectin conveys the warmth and care of homemade recipe. IFF GRINDSTED® Pectin is an ingredient that provides gelation, viscosity, texture, and protein stability in a broad range of food applications.

In addition to its traditional use in jams, jellies, and sugar confectionery, pectin improves the mouthfeel and taste profiles of beverages and protein-based products, such as yogurts, even in low-sugar applications with an improved nutritional profile.

Manufacturing sites on 2 continents and regional standardization around the globe to ensure consistent global availability and secure sourcing.
