PURPOSE:A low methoxylated pectin is used as the major gelation agent to make formed jelly having lower sweetness than standard jelly products, higher heat resistance and form retention, and giving springy and good texture. CONSTITUTION:A low methoxylated pectin solution containing sugars is mixed with juice or puree or flavor. Then, the resultant solution is brought into contact or mixed with an aqueous solution containing alkaline earth ions or saccharide solution or acidic saccharide-containing solution to effect the reaction between both solutions and at the same time, the saccharide concentration is adjusted to less than 65 deg., preferably 60-8 deg. in Bx scale, pH is to 2.8-4.5, preferably 3.0-4.2 and the content of methoxylated pectin is to more than 0.7, preferably more than 0.8wt% in the resultant jelly. |
