2. Origins and main types of polymers
To develop a gelled texture, the formulator can use endogenous gelling agents (for example, pectin from fruit cell walls when making gelled jam) or may need to add gelling additives. A range of different agents, most of them polymeric but also particulate, are available to formulators (table 2 ). Their use and relative physicochemistry are discussed in paragraphs 3 ...

Regulations
In terms of regulations, additives must be distinguished from ingredients:
ingredients are not subject to specific regulations and can be used in formulations without any obligation to indicate their presence;
additives are listed in the directives and assigned an E code (cf. standard NF ISO 5492)... and must be used in strict compliance with...
