Edicol® properties to rapidly hydrate in cold water and yield high viscosities; its pseudoplastic rheology and its relative stability over a wide pH and temperature range make it a highly efficient and cost effective ingredient in many food stability systems. Any food requiring the scientific management of its water phase is a potential application for Edicol® . Edicol® is used as a stabiliser, thickener, viscosifier, rheology control agent, bodying and suspension agent, texture and consistency modifier etc.
Edicol® brings about stabilisation, often in combination with other hydrocolloids, by modifying and controlling the behaviour of water in a food or feed. Edicol® may act as the primary or supporting stabiliser ingredient.
