Low methoxyl pectin is produced through a process of controlled de-esterification of high methoxyl pectin using alkali treatment. This changes the chemical properties of pectin making it capable of forming gels in the presence of acid and calcium ions. The degree of esterification and molecular weight can be controlled to obtain the desired textural properties in the final product. https://www.coherentmarketinsights.com/industry-reports/low-methoxyl-pectin-market
