What is Modified Citrus Pectin Powder?
Modified Citrus Pectin Powder (INS No. 440) functions as a water-soluble, non-gelling nutritional ingredient derived from the structural pectic polysaccharides of Citrus limon and Citrus sinensis. The industrial processing matrix utilizes a pH-controlled enzymatic degradation sequence to alter the native macromolecular carbohydrate alignment into a low-viscosity structure optimized for targeted formulation encapsulation.
This specialized enzymatic validation process reduces the Degree of Esterification (DE) to under 10% and standardizes the low molecular weight parameter specifically between 3,000 and 15,000 Daltons (<15 kDa). These ultra-low linear oligogalacturonan fragments feature the required molecular structure for clean-label formulation integration without triggering systemic viscosity anomalies or intestinal gelation.
The systemic botanical substrate is standardized into a calibrated 80–120 mesh fine powder profile exhibiting rapid cold-water dispersibility under standard industrial shear agitation. The material delivers documented organoleptic neutrality, ensuring verified multi-batch blending compatibility across automated high-speed capsule, compressed tablet, and sachet manufacturing lines.
