Hydro-Fi: The Next Generation of Texturizers
Gum Technology and Fiberstar have formed a collaboration to create Hydro-Fi, an all new line of texturizing ingredients for the food industry. Hydro-Fi ingredients combine Gum Technology’s Coyote Brand hydrocolloids with Fiberstar’s Citri-Fi citrus fiber. Hydro-Fi ingredients have been designed to provide innovative solutions for specific challenges in food formulation. For example, Hydro-Fi has been formulated to replace 50% of the eggs and reduce costs in cakes. In reduced fat ice cream and sorbet, Hydro-Fi reduces ice crystallization, improves texture, increases overrun and delays melting. Hydro-Fi also provides sauces with even suspension and emulsification and improves yield in meat products. Click here for more information
