Putian: Natural Hydrocolloids Driving Food and Personal Care Innovation Putian, located on China’s southeastern coast in Fujian Province, is rich in marine and fruit resources, with a long history of seafood and fruit processing. This provides a strong foundation for dairy, beverages, snacks, and bakery industries. With increasing consumer awareness of health and rising demand for low-sugar and plant-based products, pectin, citrus fiber, carrageenan, and konjac gum are increasingly applied across Putian’s food, dairy, beverages, snacks, bakery, sauces, and personal care products. In dairy and beverages, high-ester pectin is widely used in yogurt, probiotic drinks, and fruit juices, forming uniform and stable suspensions in acidic conditions, enhancing smoothness and preventing sedimentation of cereals and fruit pieces. Citrus fiber improves viscosity and mouthfeel in low-sugar beverages while providing dietary fiber, supporting healthier product formulations. Carrageenan plays a key role in milk puddings, custards, jelly, and probiotic drinks by creating stable gel structures that improve product texture. Konjac gum, with its transparent and elastic gel properties, is suitable for low-calorie desserts and plant-based meal replacements, adding elasticity and chewiness. In snacks and bakery, citrus fiber enhances dough hydration and extensibility, keeping bread, cakes, cookies, and local pastries soft and moist while partially replacing fat to reduce calories. Pectin stabilizes jams, fillings, and syrups, maintaining gloss and texture. Carrageenan and konjac gum improve texture layers and mouthfeel in energy bars, puddings, gummies, and jelly snacks. In sauces and condiments, pectin and citrus fiber stabilize formulations and prevent separation while improving flavor integration. Carrageenan enhances slicing and elasticity in meat and plant-based protein products, and konjac gum provides flexible gels for low-sugar sauces. In personal care, konjac gum and citrus fiber are widely used in skincare lotions, masks, and hair care products. Konjac gum provides smooth texture and moisturizing effects, while citrus fiber, rich in natural polysaccharides and flavonoids, offers gentle exfoliation and adsorption, providing opportunities for natural, plant-based formulations. Overall, pectin, citrus fiber, carrageenan, and konjac gum enhance structure, texture, and health functionality across Putian’s dairy, beverages, snacks, bakery, sauces, and personal care sectors, supporting innovation and product differentiation.
