Product Information

What is Low Methoxyl (LM) Pectin?

Low Methoxyl (LM) Pectin is a natural plant-based gelling agent derived from apples and citrus peels, designed for low-sugar and calcium-reactive formulations. Unlike high methoxyl (HM) pectin, LM pectin does not require high sugar content to gel; instead, it forms heat-stable, thermo-reversible gels in the presence of calcium. It is widely used in low-sugar jams, dairy products, plant-based alternatives, and molecular gastronomy.


Uses & Applications:

🔹 Low-Sugar & Sugar-Free Jams & Jellies – Forms a smooth, stable gel without the need for high sugar content.
🔹 Dairy & Plant-Based Products – Stabilizes and thickens yogurts, creams, dairy-free milks, and desserts.
🔹 Sauces & Dressings – Improves texture and prevents separation in salad dressings, fruit glazes, and condiments.
🔹 Confectionery & Gummies – Creates soft, elastic textures in low-sugar gummies, fruit chews, and soft candies.
🔹 Molecular Gastronomy & Beverages – Used for fluid gels, foams, and structured drinks.
🔹 Nutritional & Dietary Applications – Acts as a soluble fiber source, supporting gut health and digestion.
