Description

Amidatedpectin CAS NO 56645-02-4 is a chemically modified pectin derivative where some of the carboxyl groups are converted to carboxamide groups. This modification significantly enhances its gelling properties, allowing it to form strong, thermally reversible gels at lower soluble solids content and over a wider pH range compared to conventional pectin. It is an essential functional ingredient for manufacturers requiring precise and robust texture control. This product is primarily targeted at the food and pharmaceutical industries, where it serves as a superior gelling, stabilizing, and thickening agent.

Application

• Food Industry: As a high-performance gelling agent in low-sugar jams, jellies, fruit preparations, and dairy desserts, providing excellent texture and stability.
• Confectionery: Used in the production of fruit gums, pastilles, and other gel-based candies for consistent chewiness and clarity.
• Bakery Fillings & Glazes: Provides heat-stable structure and sheen to fruit fillings for pastries and glazes for baked goods.
• Pharmaceuticals: Functions as a matrix-forming agent in controlled-release drug delivery systems and as a stabilizer in liquid formulations.
• Dietary & Functional Foods: Utilized as a source of soluble dietary fiber and to improve the mouthfeel and stability of high-fiber products and beverages.
• Personal Care: Acts as a natural thickener and film-forming agent in cosmetic gels, creams, and lotions.

Quality Control

Our Amidatedpectin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure compliance with major international food and pharmaceutical standards, including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and relevant EU directives (E 440(ii)). Key parameters such as degree of amidation, gel strength, and purity are rigorously verified. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistent performance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent caking and degradation due to moisture absorption.
