Jams and Fruit Filling

Alginate delivers the required texture with the ions present in the final product.



Alginate can be used for a wide range of fruit products, soluble solids, pH levels, and processing methods. Alginate can be added either directly to the fruit preparation or as a pre-dissolved solution. Alginate can be used in the following products:

  1. Table jam
  2. Fruit fillings
  3. Fruit purees
  4. Yoghurt preparations
  5. Jelly powders sold in supermarkets

Typical benefits of alginate in these applications include:

  • Operational over a wide pH range
  • Operational over a wide range of soluble solids
  • Suitable for all conventional processes
  • Excellent flavour release
  • Adjustable spreadability
  • Low cost-in-use
  • Alginate is cold soluble
  • Thermally irreversible or thermally reversible after gelation
