Product's ability to react with a divalent or trivalent metal ion (most commonly Calcium) to create a chemically set, irreversible gel has proved to be useful in many food applications. Has the ability to thicken, suspend, stabilize, or emulsify. Used in dry pudding mixes to bring about its instant set-up and helps maintain the smooth texture in frozen deserts. Also used in whipped toppings, beverages, dressing, sauces, pie fillings and spreads. veja menos | |

During processing, the pod of the guar plant is stripped and the seeds (composed of hull, germ, and endosperm) are separated. It is the ground endosperm that makes up the commercial Guar Gum we use today. Guar Gum is also a galacto-mannan, but is capable of creating a viscous colloidal solution in cold water. Guar can be utilized in many applications to bring about a smooth mouth feel, improve the body of thin and watery products, bind water to prevent ice crystal formation, or eliminate synerisis and weeping. Some uses are sauces, soups, ice cream, noodles, gravies, dough and bakery products. veja menos | |

Gum Arabic is widely used as a stabilizing agent in oil in water emulsions. In food applications its use as an emulsifier helps to prevent flavor deterioration and evenly distribute a flavor more effectively throughout a product. Aside from its use as an emulsifier, Gum Arabic can add stability to foams (as in beer and soft drinks) as well as creating thin transparent adhesive films for adding flavor to nuts and other products. veja menos | |

Upon hardening the Ribbon (the best commercial grade) and Flake are hand picked, sorted and further processed to its powder form. When water is added to Gum Tragacanth, a soft adhesive paste can be formed, typically at a 2 – 4 % concentration. This paste accounts for many of its uses in the food and pharmaceutical industries. While Gum Tragacanth solutions are slightly acidic with a pH of 5-6, Tragacanth is fairly stable down to extremely acid conditions of around 2.5. This low pH stability can be useful in stabilizing low pH sauces, dressings and other solutions. Gum Tragacanth is credited with showing good thickening, emulsification and suspending properties during heating and low pH situations. veja menos | |

This anionic liner polymer has found many uses in technical applications, as a food additive and in the pharmaceutical industry. A white to cream powder can be made into cellulose gum which has the ability to withstand boiling, freezing and even subfreezing temperatures for a short time allowing it to be a handy addition during the processing of specialty foods. The usage of CMC as a binder, thickener, stabilizer, or for water retention lead to its wide acceptance as a direct food additive. Some applications include frozen desserts, cake mixes, crackers, powdered soups and beverages. veja menos | |
