Herbapekt® APE
Apple pectin
extract
» HERBAPEKT® APE is produced by drying apple extract containing pectin (liquid pectin). That’s why apple pectin extracts possess the properties characteristic of pectins, such as gelation and increased viscosity. HERBAPEKT® APE complements the functionality of HERBACEL® AQ® AFB and HERBACEL® AQ® PLUS fibers, and provides a special gloss and minimized syneresis in the final product.
