Until now, pectins have been the most commonly used thickeners for this type of products. However, they are relatively expensive and their production has a negative environmental impact as it requires the use of many aggressive chemical reagents. It is worth to try our thickener instead of pectins because:

• Lutkala contains native pectins and no chemical transformations are involved in its production so no sewage is generated,
• regardless of the amount of sugar, it may be used for the entire acidity range of the solutions,
• complete or partial replacement of pectins with Lutkala will allow you to:
  • lower production costs,
  • eliminate the negative environmental impact,
  • increase the fiber contents,
  • decrease the amount of additional sugar,
  • enhance the natural texture of the product,
  • simplify the formula in accordance with the “Clean Label” trend.

Applications:

• jams and preserves (especially from apples, pears, raspberries, blueberries),
• fruit sauces (ex. for ice-cream and other desserts),
• fruit fillings (for cookies, cakes, yeast pastry, puff pastry),
• fruit leather (traditional snack in Mediterranean countries, ex. from apple).
