Quality Food Hydrocolloids for Optimal Texture and Stability
Hydrocolloids
Essential Ingredients for Modern Food & Drink Production
Hydrocolloids play a crucial role in food and beverage formulation. In processed foods, no other group of ingredients contributes more to viscosity, texture and body like hydrocolloids.
Our food-grade ingredients are used in the production of everything from baked goods and dairy to sauces, dressings, confectionery and beverages.
We collaborate closely with food and drink manufacturers to supply high-quality hydrocolloids and functional ingredients, ensuring consistency and performance across a range of applications.
Benefits of Hydrocolloids in Food Processing and Manufacture
- Enhanced texture and mouthfeel
- Improved stability and consistency
- Extended shelf life and preservation
- Moisture retention
- Emulsification and thickening
Chemicals
In addition to hydrocolloids, we also supply essential food-grade chemicals, including:
Maltodextrin
Citric Acid
Ascorbic Acid
Sodium Tripolyphosphate
Potassium Sorbate
Sorbic Acid
Trisodium Citrate
