Increasing Demand for Pectin in the Russian Market

Pectin is recorded to have a significant growth in recent years, owing to its versatile functional properties, due to which it can be used as a gelling and thickening agent and stabilizer. Other major advantages of adding pectin in food and beverage products are that it reduces cooking time, improves texture and color, and increases the shelf life. It is extensively used in the production of fruit-based products, such as marmalades, fruit-based yogurts and desserts, and bakery products. It is also used in confectionery, such as jam and jellies, to give them a gel structure. Furthermore, along with its immense use in the food and beverage sector, it also finds application in the pharmaceuticals industry for wound healing preparations and specialty medical adhesives. Moreover, pectin is a vital ingredient for industrial use. Industrial pectin products are extracted from natural plant-based raw materials at low pH using the addition of mineral acid to create controlled acidity.

Acquisitive Demand of Food Hydrocolloids in Bakery Industries
