Pectin is found in all higher plants. In plant cell walls, pectin mainly covalently binds with cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin to form propectin, which is a structural substance of plants and plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure and hardness of plants. At present, the raw materials used to produce commercial pectin are mainly citrus and apple peel residue.
The fruit's flesh is sweet, has a unique taste, and high nutritional value. It can also be used for cooking, imparting a delicious fragrance, which is why it is known as "fairy fruit". Monk fruit is used to add sweetness to food and drinks. The sweetener is made by removing the seeds and skins of the fruit, crushing the fruit, and collecting the juice. This fruit extract, or juice, is about 150-200 times sweeter than sugar and contains no calories per serving, meaning a very small amount of fruit can provide a lot of sweetness. The main active ingredient of monk fruit is mogroside V, and monk fruit extract is a natural sweetener that is 80-260 times sweeter than sucrose. Mogroside V powder is soluble in water.

A: Commercial pectin is primarily extracted from the residue of citrus and apple peels, where it exists as a structural component of the plant cell walls.
A: Monk fruit juice extract is approximately 150-200 times sweeter than sucrose. Depending on the specific concentration of the active ingredient (Mogroside V), sweetness can range between 80x and 380x compared to regular sugar.
A: No, Monk Fruit extract is a natural sweetener with zero calories per serving, making it an excellent alternative sweetener for low-calorie diets.
A: It is widely used in sweet beverages (tea, carbonated drinks, juices), dairy products (yogurt, ice cream, cheese), and baked goods (bread, cookies, desserts) to replace traditional sugar.
A: For small orders of 1kg, packaging features a double plastic bag and aluminum foil bag inside a protective box. For larger orders of 10kg, 25kg, or more, packaging is handled via drums or cartons with two inner plastic layers.
A: For orders between 1kg to 25kgs, delivery is door-to-door via express services (EMS/DHL/UPS/FedEx) in 3-7 days. For quantities between 25kgs and 100kgs, air cargo or express is used (3-7 days).
