Citrus Pectin is a natural polysaccharide extracted from citrus fruits. Its main components are pectic acid and methyl pectic acid. It is characterized by high viscosity, good gelling properties, and solubility in water and low-concentration acidic environments. Due to its viscosity and gelling properties in aqueous solutions, citrus pectin is commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
1. In the food industry, citrus pectin is an important gelling agent and stabilizer, commonly used in the production of a variety of foods, including jellies, cakes, cookies, and desserts. It increases the viscosity and mouthfeel of foods, improving their texture and mouthfeel.
2. In the pharmaceutical industry, citrus pectin can be used in the preparation of oral medications and capsules, serving as a carrier for controlled-release drugs and enhancing their stability and absorption.
3. In the cosmetics industry, citrus pectin can be used as an emulsifier, thickener, and softener, providing excellent moisturizing and skin-softening effects.
