Pectins from Herbstreith & Fox

The natural product pectin is an important

structural element of all higher plants. It is

mainly produced from apples, citrus fruits and

sugar beets. As an universally applicable gelling

and thickening agent pectin today is an especi-

ally important, indispensable and additionally

healthy ingredient of many products.

Due to its natural origin and versatile product

parameters pectin is contained in many pro-

ducts, often without the consumer realising that

it is there.

From Fruits

to Pectin


4/8

Herbstreith & Fox is worldwide known for

producing high-quality pectins. Through an

innovative company policy and years of experi-

ence we developed the most modern processes,

giving us the opportunity to produce on the

highest possible level. The certification accor-

ding to DIN EN ISO 9001:2000 is just as impor-

tant as preserving our environment in every

possible way.

The production process is very complex and

technologically demanding. We show the way

from harvesting the fruit, processing to the

pectin raw material (pomace, dried citrus peels)

and the production of the different pectins and

further to the many fields of application.

3 DryingSince apples and citrus fruits areonly harvested during a fewweeks in the year and pectin is

being produced throughout theyear, the gentle and careful dry-ing of the fruit residues is impor-tant. Only carefully and gentlydried apple pomace and citruspeels can be stored for a longperiod of time.

4 Apple pomace /citrus peels

These are the terms used forthe fruit residues which resultfrom the production of fruitjuices and fruit wines.Pomace and citrus peels arethe raw materials for thepectin production.
