Compotes, jams, jellies, chutneys and creamy gelatinous textures, with more or less presence of sugar.

In the world of gel products, there is a series of light preparations – thinner or lighter than gelatin – that are made from different ingredients (pectins, gums, gelatins, hydrocolloids and with synergies between them): jams, compotes, jams and chutneys.

In this section, in addition to finding all the ingredients that provide texture, there are ingredients that reduce sweetness, improve shelf life or increase flavor and color.
