Audited Supplier
Natural and Safe: Produced via microbial fermentation, it is non-toxic, non-GMO, and compliant with food-grade standards.
High Efficiency: Achieves significant viscosity even at low concentrations (0.1-1%).
Synergistic Effects: Enhances viscosity when combined with guar gum or locust bean gum, allowing reduced usage while maintaining performance.
Stability: Resists degradation under high temperatures, acidic/alkaline conditions, and enzymatic activity.

Thickening Agent: Used in sauces, dressings, and soups to improve texture and consistency.
Stabilizer in Dairy Products: Prevents ice crystal formation in ice cream and inhibits syneresis (water separation) in yogurt and cheese.
Bakery Applications: Maintains moisture in gluten-free baked goods and prevents pastry fillings from "weeping".
Low-Calorie Foods: Mimics the mouthfeel of fat in reduced-calorie products.
Drug Delivery: Acts as a binder or stabilizer in tablets and suspensions to control drug release.
Topical Formulations: Enhances viscosity in gels and creams for even application.
Personal Care & Cosmetics
Skincare Products: Provides thickening and stabilizing properties in lotions and serums.
Oral Care: Used in toothpaste to improve texture and prevent ingredient separation.
Industrial Applications
Oil Drilling Fluids: Serves as a viscosifier in water-based drilling muds to stabilize boreholes.
Agricultural Chemicals: Stabilizes pesticides and herbicides for consistent dispersion.
