by using H&F Citrus Pectin Amid CS 025-B
Proteins are no longer just a fitness trend. They are essential for a conscious, active lifestyle. A growing number of consumers are looking for products that combine health benefits with great taste. Protein gummies meet this demand perfectly, but they also place high requirements on texture and stability. This is where H&F Pectin offers the ideal solution. As a plant‑based gelling agent, it enables the production of stable, heat‑resistant gummies with a pleasant mouthfeel, even at high protein levels. With our H&F Pectin, you can achieve up to 20 % protein without compromising quality or flavor. Levels above 30 % are attainable using collagen peptides for pectin- based collagen gummies.
H&F Pectin Amid CS 025-B gels optimally in the pH range of 4.1 – 4.5, whereas conventional confectionery pectins require a lower pH value
of 3.2 – 3.5. The higher pH protects acid- and hydrolysis sensitive proteins. High loads of these ingredients could require too much citric acid to overcome their buffering capacity, making the gummies overly sour. Furthermore, H&F Pectin Amid CS 025-B enables the use of more neutral tasting flavors such as chocolate, vanilla or caramel, which are highly popular in wellestablished high protein categories like protein shakes and protein bars.
Advantages of Pectin Amid CS 025-B
✔ Easy to use, plant based gelling system
✔ Multifunctional buffer system
✔ No additional buffers, like added sodium citrate, required
✔ For heat-stable gummies (don’t melt at higher temperatures)
Benefits of a gelation at higher pH levels:
✔ Enables a higher protein content
✔ Its lower acidity, allows for a more versatile
and broader range of flavor options
