So, what is pectinen?
Pectinen is a natural gelling agent commonly found in fruits such as apples, citrus fruits, and berries. It is widely used in the food industry to thicken and stabilize various products like jams, jellies, and fruit fillings. Pectinen is also known for its ability to improve texture and mouthfeel in low-fat and sugar-free products. This versatile ingredient can be used in both hot and cold applications, making it an essential tool for chefs and home cooks alike. Because pectinen is plant-based and has no flavor or odor, it is suitable for use in a wide range of recipes without affecting taste.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
