Peapods were de‐esterified to give a crude powder which contained low‐methoxyl pectin. Analysis showed that the degree of esterification was reduced substantially from around 60% to about 10%. When this powder was incorporated into a canned minced‐beef product in the presence of calcium ions, a gelled product resulted and the degree of gelling was dependent on the amount of powder added. Results from a taste panel indicated that the taste of the peapod thickener was acceptable.
