Thickening Agent

Pre-gelatinized Starch starch is a kind of physically modified starch, also known as α- Starch; After the starch gelatinization is in a dispersed state, after rapid dehydration and drying, the starch molecules have no time to rearrange to obtain a kind of porous starch particles without obvious crystallization. Pre gelatinized starch is used in many industrial sectors because of its porous, hydrogen bond breaking structure, cold water solubility, good cold water stability and strong water retention.

Thickener is an additive that can increase the viscosity of the system, stabilize the physical properties of the system, and has the function of emulsification. In addition to the thickening effect, it is also required to have the ability of moisturizing. Such substances include starch, pectin, agar, gelatin, casein, propylene alginate, etc. Water glass is used in other aspects. This product is not only used in cosmetics and food, but also widely used in rubber, daily necessities, etc. As a kind of food additives, this product can dissolve or disperse in water, increase the viscosity of fluid or semi fluid food, and maintain the relative stability of the system. In food, it is mainly to give the rheological form required by food, change the texture and appearance of food, make liquid and slurry food form a specific form, and make it uniform and stable. It can improve the quality of food, keep food smooth and palatable, and also has the characteristics of water solubility, stability, gel, foaming, stabilizing foam, adhesion, film forming, water holding, flavoring and health care. There are many kinds of thickeners, including thickeners from animals, plants, microorganisms, seaweed gels and other sources.

This product is used to prepare soluble chitin and glucosamine, can be used as additives for cosmetics and functional foods, and can be used to prepare photographic emulsion, etc. Thickener, stabilizer, tannin remover. It is mainly used for fruit juice and wine to prevent discoloration and remove astringency. It can also be used as binder, polishing agent, filler, film-forming agent and emulsifier.

Konjac flour is mainly composed of glucomannan (KGM). It is a rare polymer. It is obtained from the extraction and separation of konjac tubers. It has super absorbent properties (absorbable water swelling 40-100 times), thickening, film forming, emulsifying, gelatinous, lipid-lowering and gastrointestinal cleaning. It is widely used in food, printing and dyeing, chemical industry, oil drilling and other industries. It is known as "Oriental magic powder". Konjac flour is a new type of dietary fiber. It is a pure natural green food with high molecular fiber. It contains 15 kinds of essential amino acids and anti-tumor mannan. The effect of weight loss is also particularly obvious. It can increase the sense of satiety without damaging the digestive system, reduce the absorption of thermogenic nutrients, and promote excess fat by regulating endocrine function and lipase activity

Food additives; Thickener and gelling agent.
