Introduction: thickener can be widely used in food and coating What kinds of thickeners are commonly used? Let me show you Thickener is a kind of additive often used in food industry It is mainly used to improve and increase the viscosity of food, keep the color, fragrance, taste and stability of liquid food and jelly food, improve the physical properties of food, and make the food feel smooth and palatable Thickeners can enhance the viscosity of food or form gelatin, thereby changing the physical properties of food, giving food sticky and suitable taste, and emulsifying, stabilizing or suspending So what kinds of thickeners are commonly used? Let me show you Commonly used thickening agents are 1 inorganic thickeners: gas phase silica, sodium bentonite, organic bentonite, diatomite, attapulgite, molecular sieve, and silica gel 2 Cellulose ether: including methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose 3 Natural polymer and its derivatives: including starch, gelatin, sodium alginate, casein, guar gum, chitin, gum Arabic, xanthan gum, soy protein gum, natural rubber, lanolin, agar 4 synthetic polymers: polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyoxyethylene, Carbomer resin, polyacrylic acid, sodium polyacrylate, polyacrylate copolymer emulsion, butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, polyurethane, modified polyurea, low molecular polyethylene wax 5 Complex organometallic compounds: including amino alcohol complex titanate 6 Printing thickener: including dispersing thickener, coating thickener and active thickener Today's small edition of Baibai safety net gives a brief introduction to the types of thickeners commonly used If you want to know more about the function of thickeners and the knowledge of food additives and food safety, please continue to pay attention to our website and hope that today's content can help you Editor in charge: sun Dianwei
