Yeast or infection?

[Shkdwn]

i have this cider I am brewing, it’s peaches I juiced from my trees, I also added pectin enzyme to clear it a little and it’s 1 gallon it’s been sitting for 1 week and I am seeing this. Still smells good I am wondering if I should be worried. Thanks in advance

I am worried about the white

By "the white" are you referring to what's gathering at the bottom?
I don't do ciders but I don't see anything in those pics that looks worrisome.
How does it smell?

Cheers!

Yes that’s what I’m referring to, it smell like a dry cider. Thank you!

Fruit is covered with wild microbes. Unless you pasteurized the juice with heat or UV, there's plenty of wild microbes in there.

I heated the juice up to 160F before racking

If "the white" is the collected mass at the bottom of the fermentor, it's likely yeast - very unlikely to be a contaminant sitting down there.
Things to be worried about generally make their presence known at the top of the fermentation (though, to be sure, such bugs are usually all through the batch)...

Cheers!
