In Asia, especially developing countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand etc... the expectations and requirements for the quality and presentation of finished products is much more as compared to years ago, as a result of rapid economic growth and exposure to so called “Western” food. Today, manufacturers as well as consumers will not only emphasis on the taste of the food itself but also on the mouthful, texture, appearance, packaging, shelf-life and etc. Pectin is a valuable and natural source of food ingredient which can use in jam and jellies, bakery filling and yoghurt to improve quality of finished products.
