The acid-free LM pectin for vegan creams and flans

Sosa Pectin Acid Free is an amidated low methoxyl pectin (LMA, E440ii) formulated with calcium sulphate (E516) and dextrose. Its fundamental characteristic: it gels in the presence of calcium without requiring an acidic medium, unlike all other pectins. Particularly suited to low-fat and fermented dairy preparations, it enables flans, creams and jellies to be made without eggs and without animal gelatine. The resulting gels are firm, syneresis-free and thermo-reversible between 40 and 60°C — but not resistant to prolonged heat.

How to use

Mix the pectin with sugar dry. Incorporate under vigorous agitation. Bring to the boil. Pour into the chosen container and allow to set. No acid addition required.
