Botanical Name: Pyrus Malus
Country of Origin: USA
Also Known As: Apple Pectin, Fruit Pectin Powder
Part Used: Insoluble and soluble polysaccharides extracted from apple pomace (from Malus domestica fruit)
Description: Apple Pectin Powder is produced from apple pomace, the pressed apple solids remaining after juice extraction. The botanical source is Malus domestica, a widely cultivated apple species grown in temperate regions. The pomace contains naturally occurring pectic substances that, once refined, form a pale cream to light beige powder with a smooth, free-flowing texture typical of dried pectin materials.
The production process begins with collecting apple pomace, which is cleaned and prepared for extraction. The material is subjected to controlled heating and aqueous extraction to draw out the pectin. After extraction, the liquid containing the pectin is filtered, concentrated, and then dried—commonly through spray-drying or similar dehydration methods—to create a stable powder. The dried material is milled and sieved to achieve a consistent particle size suitable for mixing into dry or wet preparations.
Uses: Apple Pectin Powder is widely used in culinary applications for its structural and functional role as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent. It is incorporated into jams, jellies, confectionery items, fruit fillings, dessert preparations, and sauces where a plant-derived thickener is needed. Its neutral colour and smooth texture allow it to blend easily into both liquid and dry formulations.
It is also suitable for culinary-adjacent projects, product formulation trials, educational demonstrations, and crafting applications that use plant-based powders for texture or structural characteristics. Its consistent, fine powder form makes it adaptable to a broad range of creative and formulation uses that require a natural fruit-derived ingredient.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
