03 Sep 2024 --- Cargill is utilizing apple pomace and citrus peels to develop pectin solutions that resonate with consumer preferences for natural and label-friendly, plant-based and reduced-sugar products. The company formulates pectin solutions that are water-soluble texturizers, highly functional and have gelling, stabilizing and thickening properties. Different types of pectin are defined by their gelation system and the ingredient is used in various F&B formulations — from non-dairy desserts, yogurts and sour creams to acid dairy drinks, thermized yogurts, jams and jellies — making it a versatile component in products.
