TIC Gums Extends Line of Beverage Stabilizers to Include Non-GMO and Organic

TIC Gums has announced an extended portfolio of texture and stabilization solutions for instant beverages. Ticaloid Ultrasmooth, a cold water soluble hydrocolloid system which effectively decreases astringency and the perception of particulates in instant beverages, has been a valuable tool for product formulators.

Due to the success of Ticaloid Ultrasmooth, TIC Gums has expanded its portfolio of texture and stability solutions for instant protein beverages to include non-GMO and organic options.

Fortified instant beverages continue to grow in popularity due to ease-of-use and perceived nutritional benefits. As this market grows, the consumer base has also expanded to include those that expect an enhanced sensory experience.

Utilizing the Texture Revolution Lexicon, TIC Gums has formulated non-GMO and organic options to improve the texture of fortified instant beverages that require substantial mouth coating and a reduction in the awareness of particulates. The new products include:
•    Ticaloid Ultrasmooth NGMO--a non-GMO alternative
•    Ticaloid OG 1155--an organic option

Formulation requires careful consideration of ingredient selection and usage levels. Product developers are encouraged to engage with TIC Gums' in-house food scientists, known as Gum Gurus, to identify and determine the best solution to fit their specific texture and stabilization challenges and label declaration requirements.
