What it is
Natural polysaccharide produced by fermentation with exceptional thickening and stabilizing properties. Maintains stability across wide temperature and pH ranges.
How it works
High molecular weight polysaccharide creates viscous gel at rest. Shear-thinning properties allow easy spreading. Prevents oil-water phase separation. Suspends insoluble particles maintaining uniformity.
Benefits
- Effective thickening at low concentrations
- stabilizes emulsions preventing separation
- maintains uniform product consistency
- excellent flow properties
- prevents ingredient settling
- suitable for creams lotions and gels
