For convenience, honey has also been included in this category. |

Today, an increasing proportion of the market is dedicated to specialty products for which the range of total solids may vary from 25-85% weight/weight. Jams with the lowest total solids tend to be specialized diet products, whereas there is a need for higher solids levels in baker or confectionery jams. SPX has wide-ranging process experience for all these products and can supply anything from individual components to complete process lines.
