Description : Does pectin, as a food additive have any synergies with other food additives?
Last Answer : Pectin is often used with acidifiers (typically citric acid). It's not technically a synergistic effect, but the acid inverts part of the sugars, and since invert sugar is hygroscopic it binds some of ... onto the acid until the end. As soon as the acid is added, the gelling effect is dramatic.
