So, what is pectinas?

Pectin is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in various fruits, vegetables, and plants. Pectinas are a purified form of pectin that is commonly used as a gelling agent in the food industry. This ingredient is particularly useful in creating jams, jellies, and other fruit spreads, as it can thicken and stabilize these products. Pectinas are also used in the production of many baked goods, such as cakes and pastries, as they improve texture and extend shelf life. Additionally, this ingredient is often added to fruit juices and dairy products to enhance their viscosity and mouthfeel.
