1. Unmatched Stability Across Conditions
Maintains viscosity in extreme temperatures (-18°C to 121°C) and pH (3.0–11.0), outperforming guar gum in acidic beverages and retorted products .
2. Superior Water Binding & Emulsion Stability
Binds 5× its weight in water, reducing cooking loss in meat products by 40% .
Stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions for 6+ months in salad dressings (0.2% dosage) .
3. Clean Label Compliance
Fermented from non-GMO corn starch, compliant with EU Regulation (EC) 1333/2008 and USDA Organic standards .
4. Cost Efficiency
Low usage level (0.1–0.5%) delivers optimal viscosity, reducing raw material costs by 20% vs. gum arabic .
5. Versatile Functionality
Thickener: Creates creamy textures in plant-based milks (0.15% addition).
Suspension Agent: Prevents pulp settling in fruit juices (Case Study: Brazilian Juice Producer, 2024).
Texture Modifier: Improves bite in gluten-free bread (0.5% dosage) .
