Ingredient label
Hydrocolloids can be widely used to improve the rheology of foods and beverages, that is, to increase the stability, fluidity and texture of food and beverage formulations. Based on the plant-based revolution and the evolution of clean labels and other industry development trends, the application of hydrocolloid ushered in a new starting point. Because of its ability to bind to water, thickeners and gels, hydrocolloids can usually appear on product ingredient labels. -

Application characteristics
The role of hydrocolloids has been greatly extended to help formulators solve other challenges, including improving shelf stability of yogurt, preventing fudge from melting in warm climates, and helping plants and nut proteins become viable dairy alternatives. In addition, the hydrocolloid has other application characteristics, such as improving the appearance or taste of food and beverages, making food easier to swallow without being choked.

ThixogumTMG
New application of gum arabic
-
Gum arabic is a particle naturally formed from the sap of the acacia tree. The main components are high molecular polysaccharides and their calcium, magnesium and potassium salts. It is the oldest and most well-known natural gum in the world. Taking the food industry as an example, gum arabic is favored by the food and beverage industry because of its colorless, odorless, and odorless characteristics, as well as its super stability, high temperature resistance, extrusion resistance, and acid resistance. ThixogumTMG launched by Nexira of France is a high-performance combination of natural emulsifier (Acacia gum) and natural stabilizer (gellan gum). Its suspension characteristics can stabilize insoluble ingredients with minimal impact on food viscosity. It can be used in beverages made from insoluble compounds or suspended particles. It is an ideal stabilizer for dairy substitutes. It is also suitable for vegan and sugar-free formulas.ENTER
