Danisco pectin relieves cost pressure on jams

Danisco has lined up a speciality pectin range to optimise the production of jams, jellies and fruit spreads and help manufacturers cut back on costs. GRINDSTED® Pectin SF EXTRA is designed to meet all processing needs.

The high-performing range gives the best possible result regardless of a formulation’s fruit and sugar content. That means manufacturers may find one pectin to be sufficient for most products, simplifying warehouse stocks and giving top flexibility in production.

Higher profit margins
“While other food sectors tackle the recession by replacing expensive ingredients, national legislation limits this in the jam, jelly and fruit spread industry by imposing strict demands on the content of fruit and sugar,” says Eva Lynenskjold, fruit application specialist at Danisco.

“But, by enabling our customers to optimise their processes, we can help them increase their profit margins.”

Faster, lower energy processing
GRINDSTED® Pectin SF EXTRA allows jams, jellies and fruit spreads to be filled at a higher temperature than when standard pectin types are used. Not only does this eliminate the need for a preservative to secure shelf life, it also reduces the need for cooling prior to filling – a benefit that speeds up processing and lowers energy consumption.

Multi-functional taste and texture
With its all-round functionality, the range ensures high flavour impact and enables a wide range of textures to be achieved.

“GRINDSTED® Pectin SF EXTRA is a universally accepted supplement to the natural pectin content of fruit. Even though fruit spreads are made in many different ways from country to country, the range will ensure a cost-efficient process,” Eva Lynenskjold says.

Danisco has put together a comprehensive programme of cost-cutting solutions designed to beat the recession. See more on our website dedicated cost cutting on www.danisco.com/value.
