Pectin is a polysaccharides substance which is a naturally found in apples, lemons, oranges, berries and other fruits. Compared to ripe fruits generally unripe fruits have more pectin. In foods it acts as a gelling agent, stabilizer agent when heated with sugar. Pectin is majorly extracted from citrus fruits which is commercially produced as brown powder. It has a varied range of application in the food industry such as meat & poultry products, bakery, beverages, confectionary, dairy products and sausage & dressings followed by personal care, cosmetics, healthcare and etc. Additionally, it is beneficial for patients suffering from prostate cancer, high cholesterol and diabetes. Furthermore, lower blood sugar level is maintained by fruit pectin which delays the adsorption of glucose in the body. The most commonly used pectin is of the rapid setting type. Pectin manufacturers usually offer rapid-set pectins standardized to a viscosity instead of gelling properties, so as to guarantee a consistent performance in a beverage application.

Pectin Market Outlook

The pectin market is driven by various factor such as increasing demand for gelling agents in foods, changing lifestyle, rising preference for convenience food and growing applications of fruit pectin in meat & poultry related products. In addition, the industry has been gaining demand for low-fat and low-calorie food products from consumers resulting in more demand for pectin from food manufacturers. However, availability of substitutes such as xanthan gum, gelatin, carrageenan, alginates and agar can hamper the market growth due to low costs incurred in developing them. Though, owing to the high demand from various industries and shortage of these products is creating an opportunity for the pectin market.
