  Product Description

  Pectin is a high-purity polysaccharide widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and laboratory applications. It is particularly valued for its gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties.

  Common applications include:

  • Gelling agent in jams, jellies, and marmalades

  • Stabilizer in beverages and dairy products

  • Thickener in sauces, confectionery, and desserts

  • Laboratory use as a standard polysaccharide for research

  Handling & Storage:
  Pectin powder should be stored in a cool, dry place in airtight containers. Avoid moisture exposure, and handle with care to prevent clumping or dust formation.
