The present invention relates to methods for reducing the serum separation of an aqueous mass containing pectin, including the steps of: (a) providing an aqueous mass substantially free from pectin depolymerizing enzymes, (b) adding an effective amount of pectinesterase, preferably substantially free from pectin depolymerizing enzymes, and (c) incubating said mass in the presence of divalent cations, is disclosed. The method has been found to be advantageous with products wherein the pectin containing aqueous mass is derived from broccoli, pepper, mustard, apples, tomatoes oranges, lemons, grapes, lime, pears, carrots, peas, cauliflower, and berries, such as blackcurrant, blue-berries, strawberries, and raspberries to obtain products, such as jam, marmalade, jelly, juice, paste, soup, dressing, sauce, condiment, ketchup, salsa, chutney, pudding, mousse, or other deserts. |
