About Us
Pectin Research, Manufacturing, and Application Expertise
Our pectin project began in 2009 with research and production at the centre of the business. In 2021, Xiangquan relocated to Xiamen and continued developing pectin, fiber, and other plant-derived ingredients for food and related applications. Today, we work across several stages of the customer journey. Some customers contact us with a defined product specification. Others come with a formulation problem or application requirement. We understand what the customer is making before discussing the next step. That means identifying a suitable pectin product, reviewing formulation conditions, supplying a sample, answering technical questions, or supporting a project that requires further formulation work. Our wider product includes more than 40 specifications across the company’s principal pectin and fiber series.
TWO CORE PECTIN LINES FOR FOOD MANUFACTURING
Rather than presenting buyers with a long list of loosely connected ingredients, our core pectin portfolio focuses on Apple Pectin and Citrus Pectin. Both are plant-derived pectin ingredients used across food manufacturing, but product selection should be based on the formulation and required performance.
Apple Pectin
Our Apple Pectin is a plant-derived, water-soluble hydrocolloid used for gelling, thickening, and texture control in food manufacturing.
It is suitable for jams, marmalades, fruit preparations, confectionery, yogurt, dairy drinks, desserts and related food systems. Our team helps customers review the formulation, processing conditions and target texture before moving into product evaluation.
Citrus Pectin
Our Citrus Pectin is derived from citrus peel and is used for gelling, thickening, stabilization, and texture control in food manufacturing.
It is suitable for gummies, jams, confectionery, dairy products, beverages, and related food systems. Our team helps customers review the formulation, processing conditions, and required performance before moving into product evaluation.
NEED A SPECIFIC FRUIT PECTIN?
Tell us the fruit source, final application, and specification you need. We can help you review the available product, supporting documents, and sample route.
PECTIN GRADES FOR DIFFERENT FORMULATION REQUIREMENTS
Raw-material source is only one part of pectin selection. The grade also affects how the ingredient behaves in the formulation. Our pectin portfolio includes different technical grades for different processing and product requirements.
High Methoxyl Pectin
Low Methoxyl Pectin
Amidated Low Methoxyl Pectin
Selecting between these grades depends on the formula, pH, soluble solids, calcium level, process, and target texture.
PECTIN SOLUTIONS FOR THE PRODUCTS YOU MANUFACTURE
Pectin is used across many food categories, but its function is not the same in every formulation. Our application work focuses on how the ingredient needs to perform in the finished product.
Pectin for Gummies
Pectin provides a plant-derived gelling system for gummy and jelly confectionery. In these applications, manufacturers may need control over gel formation, firmness, set behaviour and final texture. We work with pectin-based gummy systems and also support nutrition supplement gummies through our wider formulation and OEM capabilities.
Pectin for Jam & Jelly
Jam and jelly are among the most established applications for pectin. The ingredient helps build the gel structure that gives products their expected consistency and spreadability. Our jam application work considers performance factors such as gel formation, syneresis, and the final texture of jams, jellies, marmalades, fruit spreads, and fruit fillings.
Pectin for Dairy
Dairy applications require a different technical approach. In yogurt, dairy drinks and acidified milk systems, pectin can support stability and texture. It can also help manage whey separation and contribute to the required mouthfeel in selected formulations. The product and specification should be considered alongside the dairy system itself rather than selected as a general-purpose ingredient.
Pectin for Beverages
Pectin can also play an important role in beverage formulation. Depending on the product, manufacturers may require support with viscosity, stabilization, or mouthfeel rather than gel formation. We work with pectin in fruit-based and related beverage applications where consistent product performance matters.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT THAT GOES BEYOND THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
A specification can tell you what the product is. It does not always tell you how it will behave in your formulation. Pectin performance can change with factors such as pH, sugar level, calcium concentration, temperature, processing conditions, and target texture. Our technical team works with customers to connect these variables with pectin selection.

WHY FOOD MANUFACTURERS WORK WITH XIANGQUAN
A dependable China pectin manufacturer needs to do more than ship an ingredient. Buyers need product choice, documentation, technical communication, and a clear route from evaluation to commercial supply.

ONLINE AND ON-SITE TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Some application issues can be discussed remotely. Others are easier to understand when the process itself can be reviewed. Our technical service includes online and on-site support for selected customer projects. This can be particularly valuable in applications such as gummy production, where formulation, gel behaviour, and processing conditions work together.
Our R&D team works across different hydrocolloid applications and can support colloid formulation adjustments according to customer requirements. The aim is practical: identify what is affecting the product and work toward a formulation route that can be properly evaluated.
BLENDING AND FORMULATING SERVICES
Some projects require more than one standard ingredient. Our wider technical services include blending and formulating support for food manufacturers and product developers working with specific formulation requirements.
This allows the technical conversation to consider the ingredient system as a whole rather than looking at pectin in isolation. Customers can discuss formulation requirements, application performance, and the technical route required for further development.
OEM GUMMY MANUFACTURING
Our work with hydrocolloids also extends into finished gummy development. We support three main systems:
Pectin-Based Gummies
Carrageenan-Based Gummies
Mixed-Gel Gummies
The development process begins with an initial consultation. Our technical team then develops the first formulation and sample for customer evaluation. Feedback can be used to adjust texture, appearance, flavour, and related formulation requirements before the product moves toward approval and commercial pricing.
MANUFACTURING CAPACITY BACKED BY TECHNICAL CONTROL
Our Xiamen manufacturing operation covers approximately 3,800 square metres and has an annual production capacity of approximately 1,500 tons. For our customers, production capacity is only one part of manufacturing. The ingredient must also be checked against defined quality parameters before it reaches the customer.
Our testing and technical teams evaluate pectin batches using relevant quality indicators to support product consistency and release decisions. This connection between manufacturing, laboratory testing, and application knowledge helps us discuss both the ingredient itself and how it may need to perform in a customer’s formulation.
BATCH TESTING FOR KEY PECTIN PARAMETERS
Pectin performance depends on technical characteristics that cannot be evaluated from appearance alone. Our testing process includes checks across important product and microbiological parameters.
Degree of Esterification
Degree of Esterification is an important pectin characteristic linked to how different pectin systems behave in formulation.
Ash Content
Total Bacterial Count
pH
These checks give our production and technical teams measurable information to support batch assessment.
QUALITY CERTIFICATIONS FOR FOOD MANUFACTURING
Food manufacturers need more than product performance. Supplier qualification also depends on quality-management systems, food-safety controls, and certification. Our certification portfolio includes:
Kosher
Halal
HACCP
ISO 9001
FSSC 22000
SUPPORTING MORE THAN 150 CUSTOMERS WORLDWIDE
Xiangquan has served more than 150 customers worldwide, supporting food and ingredient projects across different market requirements. For international buyers, a pectin enquiry may involve several teams. Procurement may need commercial information. R&D may need to evaluate a sample. Quality teams may need certification information. Production teams may have questions about application performance.
Our commercial and technical teams help connect these requirements through the same supplier relationship. Tell us what you are making, the pectin you are evaluating, and what information your team needs.
