Pectin is used in jam making to have the jam set. Ascorbic acid is used to regulate acidity and acts as a preservative. Neither are usual things to put in your coffee at home, but they are pretty benign by the general standards of industrial food production ("wot, no xanthum gum?" is an advertising slogan I think we will never hear).
