Thickener

Products have long been used in the kitchen to thicken sauces, creams, juices, soups, and more. Traditionally, starches and flour have served as common thickeners. However, their disadvantage is that a significant amount is often required, which can alter the final taste of the dish.

Xantana is a new product in the thickener food category which is capable of thickening cooking preparations with a minimal amount, and without distorting the initial taste characteristics at all.

Xantana is obtained from the fermentation of corn starch with a bacteria found in cabbage. It has great thickening power, and notable potential as a suspension into another liquid without sinking into it. It can also retain gas.

It is soluble cold and hot, shake slowly and allow it to hydrate alone. Xantana can also thicken alcohol.

This new product can thicken preparations such as soups, sauces and creams by using a minimum quantity and without distorting the initial taste.
