About Pectin 325NH95

Louis Francois Pectin 325NH95 is a low methoxyl amidated (LMA) fruit pectin, standardized with sucrose and derived from apple and citrus sources. This creamy-white to light brown powder is odorless and tasteless, and functions as a gelling and thickening agent, ideal for a variety of fruit-based, acidic, or calcium-rich preparations.

Used at a dosage of 0.5% to 1.5%, Pectin 325NH95 enables chefs and food professionals to create stable, thermoreversible gels that develop on cooling and continue to set over 24 hours. It offers excellent freeze-thaw stability and maintains smooth texture even after reheating, making it ideal for modern pastry, glazes, sauces, and plant-based gelled desserts.


Use:

Incorporation:
To prevent clumping, premix the powder with sugar or other dry ingredients, then add gradually into the liquid while stirring vigorously. Alternatively, disperse into a non-solvent medium (e.g., oil, alcohol, or sugar syrup > 65° Brix).

Dissolution:
Best dissolved with heat (80–85°C / 176–185°F) and shear (e.g., immersion blender or propeller mixer). In high-calcium environments like dairy or hard water (>80 ppm Ca++), additional sequestering salts may be required for full hydration.


Application:

  • Fruit Preparations & Compotes: Offers a soft gel in jams, sauces, and inserts with low sugar or added calcium.

  • Glazes & Coatings: Suitable for shiny nappage-style finishes with reworkability and spreadability.

  • Frozen & Reheated Desserts: Maintains clean, stable texture after freezing and thawing.

  • Molded Gelled Desserts: Smooth finish and defined slicing—ideal for plated desserts or inserts.

  • Vegan & Plant-Based Use: Excellent alternative to animal-based gelling agents.


Recommended Dosage:

0.50 to 1.50% of total weight, depending on desired gel strength and acidity/calcium in the formula.


Observations:

  • Creamy-white to light brown fine powder

  • Odourless and neutral flavor

  • Thermoreversible and thixotropic gel texture

  • Final structure develops upon cooling (24 hours)

  • Freeze-thaw stable

  • Gels in the presence of calcium and/or acidity


Elaborations:

  • Reheatable fruit glazes for tart finishes

  • Freeze-stable compotes or fillings

  • Vegan panna cottas or jelly terrines

  • Soft, spoonable jams or sauces

  • Low-sugar molded fruit gels for plated desserts


Differences from Other Pectins:

  • High Methoxyl (HM / Yellow Pectin): Requires high sugar and low pH to gel; not suitable for low-sugar or calcium-based systems. Not thermoreversible.

  • Pectin NH: Also thermoreversible and used in glazes, but generally sets faster and is more focused on nappage-style uses.

  • Pectin Nappage: Formulated for shiny glazes in high-sugar systems; less flexible for modern or dietary-sensitive formulations.

  • Acid-Free Pectin (e.g., X58): Designed for gelling in neutral pH systems (like dairy); not optimal for acidic or fruit-based settings.

  • Extra Slow Set Pectin: Used in large-batch production with extended cooking; not suited for recipes requiring fast set or reworkability.


Origin:

Low methoxyl amidated pectin (E440ii) derived from apple and citrus, standardized with sucrose.
