Applicazioni

• Plant-based Protein Beverages / Dairy Beverages: Improves the stability of protein and fat, preventing stratification and precipitation, resulting in a more uniform texture.
• Jellies / Puddings: Provides excellent gel structure, forming clear and elastic products that are acid and heat-resistant, suitable for high-temperature sterilization.
• Baked Goods (e.g., Bread, Cakes): Acts as a stabilizer and thickener, improving dough rheology, increasing product volume, enhancing crumb structure, delaying staling, and extending shelf life.
• Vegetarian Products (Meat Alternatives): Serves as a plant-based alternative to gelatin, providing similar gel and texture properties to meet vegetarian demands.
• Soft Candies / Confections: Imparts good elasticity and chewiness to products, while helping to prevent syneresis (water separation) and crystallization, thus maintaining product quality.
• Meat Products: Improves gel strength and water-holding capacity, enhancing sliceability and mouthfeel, and reducing cooking loss.
