Custom Gum Blends

Prime Ingredients has expertise in developing and providing customized gum blends. In many cases, one singular gum or hydrocolloid may not necessarily provide all of the desired effects for an application. Using two or more blends in combination at the proper ratio and dosage rate can provide many advantages for your given application.

  • Gums have Synergistic Effects when used in combination. For example. Xanthan Gum and Locust Bean Gum can form a gel when used in combination, however, when each is used alone, they each demonstrate their individual effects or properties.

  • Hydrocolloid blends can allow for fine tuning the texture or structure or mouthfeel of a food, optimizing properties like creaminess or elasticity.

  • Gum Blends can provide even better stability and shelf life in application, where different gums are allowed to contribute complementary effects.

  • In Gum Blends, each gum solves or addresses a unique issue or problem in the application..

  • Customized Gum Blends allow for better price stability, lower use levels and overall Cost Optimization.
