The Specialists for Pectin – A Product of Nature.

The Cor po rate Group Herb streith & Fox

is world wide a by word for mak ers of

high-qual ity pec tins used in the food and

non- food in dus try for more than 75 years.

Decades of ex pe ri ence with per spec -

tives in re search and de vel op ment, in

pro duc tion and sales are cer tain ly the

foun da tion for the present suc cess in the

world market.

Tradition and experience alone will not

be enough to be successful in

today’s markets. Only with a

modern management, promo-

ting innovative thinking and not

wishing to be merely copycats

but pioneers, listening to the

market demands, will it be pos -

sible to transform ideas into

promising action.

Herbstreith & Fox has always consis-

tently followed this corporate philosophy.

In this way, convincing innovative pro-

ducts at the highest quality level were

created in the most advanced production

processes.

Generally speaking, the Corporate Group

Herbstreith & Fox provides us ers of pec-

tins with a sophisticated high-quality

product range of all types of pectins,

which meet the most demanded require-

ments in the most var ied areas of appli -

cation.

Ideas can only be successfully trans -formed by modern

management, promoting innovative

thinking.

Pectin is a natural substance which is

present in great amount in many

vegetable foodstuff, e.g. fruits and vege-

tables. As structural element in the

growth generating tissue and main com-

ponent of the middle lamella in plants it

provides cohesion and stability in tis-

sues and cells.

Pectin as a name is derived from the

Greek word “pectos”, which means ge-

latinated, or solidified.

Pectin is a rather young product. The

scientist Vauquelin discovered its exi-

stence in fruit juices some 200 years

ago.

At that time, however, in 1790, the year

of birth for pectin, it was not yet called by

that name. The name was first used in

1824, when Braconnot continued the re-

search started by Vauquelin. He called

the gel-forming substance pectic acid.

Smolenski in 1924 was the first to assu-

me a substance from polymeric galactu-

ronic acid in pectin. In 1930, Meyer and

Mark discovered the chain formation of

the pectin molecule. And Schneider and

Bock in 1937 established the formula.

The practical potential was recognized

only at the beginning of the 20th century.

The excellent jellifying properties of pec-

tin were employed in the production of

foodstuff, which marked the beginning of

the large-scale production of pectin.

The founder of our company, Hermann

Herbstreith, discovered decades ago the

usefulness and multivaried application

potential of pomace, a by-product from

the fruit juice manufacture and discarded

until then. From then on, the underva-

lued pomace served as valuable raw

material in the production of apple pectin.

Chemically speaking, pectin is a

macromolecular compound be-

longing to the heteropolysaccha-

rides. The main component is

polygalacturonic acid, which is

partially esterified with methanol.

Pectin is produced from vegetable raw

material with a high natural pectin con-

tent, such as apple pomace, citrus peels

and beet chips, in a technologically com-

plicated process.

The different raw materials will yield va-

rious amounts of pectin. These pectin

extracts are now specifically processed

in various processes to achieve a num-

ber of different types of pectin with spe-

cific properties.

Which type of pectin will finally be em-

ployed by the user depends largely on

the specific criteria to be met by the

finished product.

Pectin is today an indispensable compo-

nent in many products, mainly in the food

sector, but also in the non-food sector,

since it is a universally applicable, natu-

rally gelling, thickening and stabilizing

substance.

Our Product Variety isthe Answer to MarketRequirements.

For decades, our cor po rate group

has en joyed an enor mous world -

Thus the Herb streit & Fox prod uct

range sup plies to day the full scope of

com mer cial ly avail able pec tins for

all areas of ap pli ca tion, such as:

• Classic Apple Pectins

• Classic Citrus Pectins

• Classic Grapefruit Pectins

• Betapec Beet Pectins

The apple has alwaysbeen of outstanding

importance for theproduction of pectin.

Aside from Clas sic Pec tins, we

also sup ply for spe cial ap pli ca -

LM amidated pectins, just like non-ami-

dated pectins, require

calcium ions for gelling.

They will already set

suf ficiently with only mi-

nor calcium amounts

present. Furthermore,

the gel setting tempe-

rature of ami dated pectins is less in-

fluenced by the calcium dosage.

8

Pectins are divided into three groups

on the basis of their different gelling

properties.

High Ester Pectins(HM Pectins)These pectins have usually a more than

50% share of esterified polygalac turonic

acid units (DE°), thus practically no

reaction with calcium ions occurs. The

gel strength depends, among

others, on acid content, type of

pectin, concentration and so-

luble solids content, which ge-

nerally has to be more than

55%.

The degree of esterification correlates

with the gel setting rate and gel texture

under otherwise similar conditions. Very

high esterified pectins jellify quicker resp.

at higher temperatures and form more

elastic and brittle gel textures than less

esterified pectins.

This accurate corre-

lation requires a very ho-

m o gene ous inter- and

intramolecular car boxyl

group distribution, as is especially given

in Classic Apple Pectins from Herbstreith

& Fox. Due to a blockwise distribution of

carboxyl groups Classic Citrus Pectins

with the same degree of esterification

will form gels with a slightly higher set-

ting temperature and a more elastic-

brittle texture than Classic Apple Pectins.

The blockwise carboxyl groups distri-

bution of high methylester pectins ad-

ditionally provides advantages regarding

protein stabilization in acidified milk

drinks.

Low Ester Pectins(LM Pectins)Pectins with less than 50% share of este-

rified polygalacturonic acid units (DE°)

can jellify with calcium ions. LM pectins

thus do not only form gels with sugar and

acids, but at less soluble solids mainly

with calcium ions. The resulting gel

strength is determined by pectin con-

centration, type of pec-

tin, soluble solids con-

tent, pH range and the

concentration of buffer

salts and calcium ions.

A well matched balan-

ce between pectin and cal cium concen -

tra tion wi ll lead to an op timal texture.

Exceeding the calcium optimum will pro-

duce a brittle gel with tendency towards

syneresis (loss of water from the gel) or,

in the end, to the formation of calcium-

pectinate, the insoluble calcium salt of

pectin.

Since gel setting with LM pectins is also

possible with a low soluble solids content

and at a high pH-value, this opens up

numerous application possibilities in

dietetic and dairy products.

Amidated Pectins (HM- and LM Amidated Pectins)In case of amidated pectins ammonia in-

stead of acids is used for deesterifi-

cation and with that part of the ester

groups is replaced by amide groups. This

process modifies the gelling properties

in comparison to acid deesterified

pectins.

Your texture require-ments determine the choice of the

suitable pectin.

Since pec tin is ex tract ed from nat u ral

veg e ta ble raw ma te ri als, its prop -

erties may dif fer de pend ing on the qual -

ity of the raw ma te ri al.

We, as pec tin spe cial ists, must sup ply

us ers with prod ucts for large- scale in -

dus tri al pro duc tion that guar an-

tee re li able and re pro du cible

re sults on the ba sis of a stan -

dard ized pec tin grade.

De pend ing on the use of pec -

tin, dif fer ent meth ods of stan -

dard iza tion are be ing em ployed. Three

essential methods:

USA-Sag Meth od

The stan dard iza tion of high me thylester

pec tins to con stant grades is inter-

na tion al ly done by way of a Rid ge lim e ter

ac cord ing to the “USA-Sag Meth od”.

In this meth od, a sug ar-wa ter gel is

pro duced at 65 % TSS and a pH of

ap prox i mate ly 2.2. Af ter a de fined

cool ing pe ri od and cool ing tem pe-

r a ture, the per cent age of sag ging

under its spe cif ic weight is mea-

s ured and con vert ed to °USA-

Sag. A fre quent stan dard is

150°USA-Sag. The dis -

advantage of the me-

thod is that the low pH

range of the test gel does not

rec om mend it self for prac ti cal work and

it does not pro vide any in for ma tion on

the gel tex ture. The simple handling and

good reproducibility are the advantages

of this method.

Meas ur ing break ing strength with the

Pekti nom e ter Mark IV

The “in ner strength” of a gel is called

“break ing strength”. It correlates more

with the sen so ry per cep tion of stabil ity

than the USA-Sag val ue. Thus pec tins

often are as sessed al so for their brea-

k ing strength. To de ter mine the break ing

strength, the internal gel

stability of a standard gel

(65% TSS, pH 3.0) is

meas ured by way of the

Herb streith Pekti nom e ter

by pull ing a central share

in sert out of the gel at con-

stant velocity. The force

nec es sary for this pur pose

is meas ured by a strain

gauge.

The force variation is ad di -

tional ly re cord ed as a

force-dis place ment di a -

gram on the display pro-

viding infor ma tion on the gel

tex ture.

Set ting tem per a ture and set ting time

Stan dard iza tion of setting temperature

and setting time is done by using high-

quality Rhe om e ters. These meas ure -

ments are sup ple ment ed by tex ture

anal y sis. Thus the dy nam ic Weis sen -

berg in dex provides val ues which cor re -

late well with sen so ry im pres sions.

The thickening prop er ties of pectins

such as formation of a yield point or the

viscosity are also determined rheometri-

cally.

In pen e tra tion meas ure ments

with the Tex ture Anal y ser, the

force of re sis tance is meas ured

which acts on a test plun ger

path or disrupting into it,

respectively.

The different Properties of Pectins.

Gell ing mech a nismsThe as so ci a tion of pec tin chains leads to

the for ma tion of three-di men sion al net -

works, that is to gel for ma tion.

These are long seg ments of reg u lar

sequence, rup tured by the in cor po ra tion

of rham nose and branch ing of the chain.

Two or more chain seg ments bond

togeth er and start to inter act.

High ester pec tins

jel li fy pre dom i nant ly in the so- called

“sug ar-ac id gell ing mech a nism”, that

means a certain amount of ac id is re -

quired to sup press the dis so ci a tion of the

free car box yl groups. In this

way, the neg a tive charg ing of

the mole cules is pre vent ed

and their mu tu al re pul sion re -

duced.

A high sug ar con cen tra tion

low ers the wa ter ac tiv ity of the system,

the pec tin mole cules are sub sequent ly

de hy drat ed and clus ter more eas i ly in

bond ing zones.

The degree of esterification is deter-

mined by the type ofchain association.

GUS = galacturonic acidRHA = rhamnosePectin chain with galactan side chains

Low ester pec tins,

too, jel li fy in a sug ar-ac id gell ing mech a-

nism. Pec tin mole cules with a low ester

con tent, how ev er, may form bond ing

zones with bi va lent cat ions, but they may

form gels in rel a tive in de pen dence from

soluble sol ids con tent and pH range in

the pres ence of mul ti valent cat ions (e.g.

cal cium ions).

The cal cium con cen tra tion re quired for

gell ing de pends here on such pa ra-

m e ters as pH of the prod uct, soluble

sol ids con tent and buf fer system.

With small er ad di tions of cal cium, pec -

tin chains will start to clus ter over cal -

cium bonds, the viscosity increases.

With in creased cal cium con cen tra tion, a

gel will form. Over dos age of cal cium ions

will lead to cal cium pec ti nate pre cip i ta -

tion under the giv en gel forma tion con -

di tions, this is al so called “pre-gell ing”.

The gel struc ture will be less elas tic,

rather pas ty with low er break ing strength.

Precip i ta tion of cal cium pec ti nate is on ly

re ver sible to a lim it ed ex tent, even when

the gel is once more heat ed above its

set ting tem per a ture and cooled down

with out de struc tion.

The ap pli ca tion po ten tial of pec tin is

Rhe o log i cal and sen so ry def i ni tionsIn the sen so ry eval u a tion of jel li fied and

vis cous prod ucts we dis tin guish between

the con sis ten cy of the gel and the con -

struc tion of the gel for ma tion,

that is the gel struc ture. To

reach an overall impression of

the gel, always both criteria

have to be jointly considered

during sampling.

The term con sis ten cy de scribes com -

pact ness, firm ness and vis cos ity of the

sam ple. These prop er ties are per ceived

sen so ri ly by press ing and spread ing and

are gen eral ly de scribed as firm ness. The

can be rheo log i cal ly de ter mined, for

fruit vol ume and type of sug ar, the pa -

The term struc ture or “for ma tion” de -

scribes bond ing, the gel struc ture and

homog e nous ness of a sam ple. The gel

struc ture can be no ticed on the sur face

of a de stroyed gel. A rough and brit tle

structure points to an in ho mo ge ne ous

gel struc ture, while a smooth and elas -

tic sur face in di cates a ho mo ge ne ous

struc ture.

The ra tio of rig id to shift ing bonds with in

a gel for ma tion de ter mines the gel struc -

in a gel, the more brit tle and frag ile the

gel struc ture will be. With an in creas ing

vis cous phase, the gel struc ture will al -

so be come in creas ing ly smooth er.

Con sis ten cy and struc ture, joint ly ex pe -

ties of ap ple pec tins are sup ple ment ed

by the great er elas tic ity of cit rus pec tins.

The re sult are pec tins which form gels of

great elas tic ity but re main spread able at

the same time and show a rel a tive ly low

tenden cy to syn er e sis.

Instant Pectins:In stant Pectins can provide technologi-

cal, economic but also qualitative bene -

fits for the user, especially when there is

no possibility to use the pectin as solution

or pre-dispersed (see page 17).

Instant Pectins are made in a

granulation process, in which

powdery standardized par-

ticles of pectin conglomerate

to particles of a bigger size.

This ef fects a por ous struc ture

in the individual pectin parti -

cles. The space created in this

pro cess in side the pectin granulate per-

mits a faster penetration of liquid and –

compared to traditional pectins – the

wet ting of a far larg er surface area. This

makes lumpfree dispersion in a cold

prod uct batch pos sible and results in a

safe solution.

Three major requirements postulated by

the user basically determine what pectin

grade or what type of pectin will finally be

used:

Reliable and quick solubility as well asshorter cooking times,these are convincingarguments for the useof Instant Pectin.

• requirements on texture

• formulation

• production technology
