Use the pectin specified in the formula. The reference uses pectin NH for a bonbon fruit filling and distinguishes pectin types by the sugar, acidity and setting behaviour they need.

It doesn't give a validated one-for-one replacement for X58. Don't substitute an unidentified pectin, agar or gelatin at the same weight. For the pectin mixtures described in the course, premix the pectin with sugar before dispersing it into the liquid to reduce lumps.
