Abstract
A gel comprising water, pectin having a DE from about 62 to 75, soluble saccharide or sugar alcohol solids present in an amount from about 44 to 60% by weight of the gel, and a pH reducing agent for reducing the pH of the gel from a level from about 2 to 3. A method for making the gel without heating or cooling is also disclosed.
Claims21
A method for preparing a gel, the method comprising:
- forming a gel forming mixture at a temperature, the gel forming mixture comprising:
- water;
- a pectin having a degree of esterification from about 62 to about 75;
- a soluble saccharide or sugar alcohol solids in an amount from about 44 to about 60% by weight of the gel forming mixture;
- and
- a pH reducing agent for reducing the pH of the gel forming mixture to a level from about 2 to about 3,
- wherein the gel forming mixture forms the gel, and
- wherein the temperature is substantially maintained during the method for preparing the gel.
