Comparing E440 - Pectins vs E1405 - Enzyme treated starch

Overview

E440 - Pectins

Pectins (E440) are plant-based gelling agents made from fruit. They help jams set, keep yogurt drinks smooth, and stabilize many fruit foods. Most people eat small amounts of pectin every day from fruit and processed foods.

E1405 - Enzyme treated starch

Enzyme treated starch (E1405) is a modified starch that has been gently broken down with food-grade enzymes to change how it behaves in recipes. It helps make foods smoother, stable, and easy to process without adding strong flavors of its own. You will see it used as a thickener, stabiliser, or emulsifier in many everyday products.

  1. What is fruit pectin?

    Fruit pectin is a plant-derived soluble fiber (a polysaccharide) from fruit cell walls, extracted mainly from citrus peels or apples and used as a natural gelling agent for jams and jellies.

  2. Is pectin bad for you?

    No—pectin is generally recognized as safe and is a soluble dietary fiber; in large amounts it may cause gas or bloating and can reduce absorption of some medicines if taken at the same time.

  3. What is pectin made of?

    Pectin is a complex carbohydrate polymer rich in galacturonic acid units, extracted from plant cell walls—commercially most often from citrus peels and apple pomace.

  4. Is pectin vegan?

    Yes; pectin is plant-derived and considered vegan, as it’s extracted from fruit byproducts.

  5. What is pectin used for?

    It’s used as a gelling agent in jams and jellies and as a thickener/stabilizer in desserts, confectionery, fruit preparations, and some juices or milk drinks, and it also contributes dietary fiber.
