Applications of thickeners in food
Application in the production of jellyFood thickeners are often used in the production and processing of jelly with two or more synergistic effects, so as to achieve the best results needed for jelly. Gellan gum is an extracellular linear polysaccharide synthesised and secreted by Pseudomonas aerugi
Factors affecting the effectiveness of food thickeners
Influence of structure and relative molecular mass on viscosity: Generally, thickeners are colloids that can easily form a network structure or have more hydrophilic groups in solution and have a higher viscosity. Therefore, with different molecular structure of the thickener, even in the same conce

Polydextrose is a good prebiotic, fermenting in the intestinal tract can lower the intestinal pH from 7.24 to 6.44, facilitating the growth and proliferation of probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. In yoghurt production and processing, polydextrose can enhance the dietary fibr
The role of food thickeners in food
Food thickeners, as defined in the Food Safety Standard for the Use of Food Additives, are substances that can increase the viscosity or form gels to change the physical properties of food, give food a viscous and suitable texture, and also emulsify, stabilise or suspend food. As an additive, food t
