H&F Pectins for Confectionery with few Acid or high Product-pH-Values

Acidic jelly and gum confectionery mainly contain sugar, glucose syrup, water, buffer salts and pectin. With adding flavors and citric acid these products obtain their typical flavor. Citric acid is added for reasons of obtaining a fruity-acidic flavor and to initiate the so called sugar-acid-gelation leading to gel formation and the desired texture when high methylester pectins are used.

Besides the typical acidic products such as jelly fruits and gum products also less acidic gel products with vanilla, coffee or caramel flavor, Turkish Delight (Sade Lokum) as well as foamed candy products neutral in pH-value and milk jellies are part of this product range.
