The present disclosure provides a formulated pectin composition for lowering food glycemic index (GI) value. The formulated pectin composition comprises low-ester pectin and metal salt of bivalent/trivalent cation, with or without soluble polysaccharides. The formulated pectin composition may comprise the components: pectin and metal salt of bivalent or trivalent cation, in the following weight percentages: the pectin 94.3-97.1% and the metal salt of bivalent or trivalent cation 2.9-5.7%.

Formulated pectin composition for lowering food glycemic index value

The present disclosure provides a formulated pectin for reducing food GI, comprising low-ester pectin and metal salt of bivalent/trivalent cation, with or without soluble polysaccharides. The components of the formulated pectin, according to the present disclosure, are synergistic with each other and can be added to a carbohydrate-based medium and high GI food to achieve the effect of lowering the GI value of the food through a unique physical reaction in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby obtaining a corresponding low GI food. In preparing the low GI food containing said formulated pectin of the present disclosure, only a small amount of said formulated pectin is required to be added to the raw material, and then customarily cooked or baked, allowing little effect on the processing, and almost no impact on the food taste and status. The food can be effective over a wide range of cooking temperatures.
