DuPont Nutrition & Health has developed Grindsted Pectin PRIME 541 for food manufacturers to formulate reduced sugar fruit spreads recipes faster and without processing hurdles.
The solution does not require calcium addition, has an improved tolerance to heat and can work in a wide range of fruit types, sugar levels and fruit levels.
“The improved formulation and process flexibility makes it possible, in a minimum amount of time, to develop and produce reduced sugar fruit spreads with outstanding quality, and at the same time reduce the number of pectin SKU’s needed,” said Eva Lynenskjold, principal application specialist, Fruit Application, DuPont Nutrition & Health.
Prime 541 allows food manufacturers to meet the quality demands on appearance, texture and flavor for reduced sugar fruit spreads while also meeting clean label requirements.
This means that calcium salts are not required, however, the pectin must be declared in the ingredients list of the final consumer product.
