LM-pectin produces gelled milk desserts with a soft and smooth texture. In
particular, LM-pectin is used in powdered or liquid preparations to be blended with
cold milk to produce a truly gelled texture.
LM-pectin is less suited to food processes involving retorting. High temperatures
cause the so-called/~-elimination (Fig. 5), the effect of which is chain cleavage and
loss of gelling ability.
LM-pectin requires cal
