What is Modified Citrus Pectin Powder?
Modified Citrus Pectin Powder (MCP) is a water-soluble polysaccharide ingredient derived from citrus peels and inner membranes of fruits such as lemon, orange, mandarin and grapefruit. It is produced by enzymatic modification and controlled hydrolysis of natural citrus pectin, which reduces its molecular weight and degree of esterification while improving its water solubility and dispersibility. With its defined specifications and versatile formulation properties, Modified Citrus Pectin Powder is suitable for use as a functional ingredient in dietary supplements, functional foods and other nutrition-related formulations. We provide different MCP grades and customized specifications to meet the requirements of international ingredient manufacturers and bulk buyers.
