Hydrocolloids Used in Jam and Their Specific Functions
Hydrocolloids are widely used in many food formulations to improve quality attributes and shelf-life. Their two main uses are as thickening and gelling agents. As gelling agents, they are extensively used in products like jam, jelly, marmalade, restructured foods and low sugar/calorie gels . In fruit-based products such as jams and jellies, hydrocolloids enhance textural stability by preventing syneresis and improving nutritional value as well as consumer appeal .
