Once the new Serbian Regulation on the quality of fruit jams, jellies, marmalades and sweetened chestnut puree (101/2015) was issued, the former Regulation on the quality of fruit, vegetables, mushrooms and pectin preparations (01/79) ceased. Former Regulation was an excellent document, which had to be changed upon the harmonization of laws with European Union (EU). By interpreting the “old” regulations it is obvious that the share of fruit in the gelled product was very high, much higher than under the new regulation. The new Regulations of R. of Serbia recognize a categorization of the following nine products: jam, extra jam, jelly, extra jelly, marmalade, jelly marmalade, domestic marmalade (“domaća marmelada”), sweetened chestnut puree and pekmez. Domestic marmalade and pekmez weren’t recognized in the Directive (2001/113/EC), but are result of harmonization of regulations and introduction of novelties that are specific to individual EU members. In terms of specific quality requirements, each of the nine groups is defined separately. The new Regulations (101/2015) define jam as a product containing some smaller portion of fruit (350g/kg), while the extra jam should not contain less than 450 g/kg of a fruit in the final product. It is noticeable that there are some distinctive differences relating the product quality in these two Regulations: jam and extra jam could contain a considerably smaller fruit content in the final product comparing the old regulations; The quality standards for domestic marmalade are the same as were for former marmalade. The quality is higher than quality of the best products of the other groups, such as extra jam. In case of domestic strawberry marmalade and strawberry extra jam, the fruit contentof 800g/kg is almost twice times higher than of extra jam (450g/kg).
