PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A GEL-FORMING SUBSTANCE

摘要

A process is disclosed for producing a gel-forming substance by coating sugar grains with finely ground pectin, and if desired with one or several components such as citric acid, potassium tricitrate and potassium sorbate. The sugar, if desired together with the crystalline, coarse grain components such as citric acid, is first mixed with 0.05 to 0.5 % by weight, preferably 0.1 to 0.2 % by weight, of an oil, then is mixed with pectin, and if desired with the other finely powdered components.
