Description
Derived from the seeds of the Cyamopsis tetragonoloba plant, this versatile thickening agent is valued for its ability to improve texture, stability, and consistency across a wide range of products. Composed primarily of galactose and mannose, it functions as both a thickener and stabilizer, making it a trusted ingredient in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations. Highly soluble in cold water, it forms a viscous gel that supports product integrity and extends shelf life. Vegan, kosher, and gluten-free, it provides a dependable option for manufacturers seeking natural, functional solutions available in bulk quantities.
Applications: This emulsifier is widely used to stabilize and thicken sauces, dressings, dairy-based items, baked goods, and beverages. Beyond food production, it is also incorporated into cosmetics and personal care formulations to improve texture, consistency, and overall performance.
Brewing Instructions: For culinary and manufacturing use, dissolve the required amount in cold water before adding it to the recipe or formulation. This step ensures smooth distribution and prevents clumping. Typical usage levels range from 0.1% to 1% of the total product weight, depending on the desired viscosity and stability.
Storage: Keep stored in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and excess moisture. Always reseal the container tightly after use to maintain freshness and prevent contamination. Proper storage conditions help preserve both shelf life and product effectiveness.
