Applications Packaging Storage & Handling
• Dairy desserts & puddings: body and clean spoon cut (with E407).
• Plant milks & cocoa beverages: suspension and mouthfeel (with E407 at low dose).
• Ice cream & frozen desserts: body, meltdown control (often with guar and CMC).
• 25 kg multi‑wall paper bags with PE liner.
• Small packs for R&D/QC trials on request.
• Non‑DG. Store cool/dry, sealed; protect from moisture and odours.
• Pre‑blend with sugar/dextrose; hydrate at 80–90 °C under shear; cool quickly.
Specs are representative; shipped material conforms to the lot COA. We tune viscosity/mesh and blend ratios to your UHT/HTST or batch process and target texture.
