Smooth, creamy texture of the final product
VIDOCREM provides a smooth, creamy texture compared to regular guar gum. The way it flows and the mouthfeel are less sticky, which makes it much more pleasant to consume.
When stirred or subjected to mechanical processing, the shorter molecular chains in VIDOCREM align and reduce viscosity in a controlled manner. Unlike longer chains—which can become overly sticky when viscosity drops—the shorter chains maintain a better consistency. These shorter chains also behave like small, rounded particles, meaning that VIDOCREM does not create a sticky texture but rather enhances the creamy feel in food products.
This makes VIDOCREM ideal for achieving a balance between texture and creaminess without the unwanted stickiness. With its various options (such as VIDOCREM A and D), it allows for achieving different levels of creaminess tailored to your needs. It is particularly suitable for recipes that require a creamy, rich texture.
Reduced viscosity by thermal process
VIDOCREM is a viscosity-reduced guar gum (E412) obtained through carefully controlled thermal processing of native guar gum. This process ensures that there are no chemical modifications, maintaining the status of a pure and natural product. Its advanced formulation provides exceptional functionality while preserving its natural origin. VIDOCREM retains all the key characteristics of guar gum, and its thermal processing guarantees a high level of naturalness, making it completely safe for wide use in food products.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF VIDOCREM:
Depending on the degree of reduced viscosity, we distinguish between VIDOCREM A, which has a viscosity of only 50 cPs, and all the way to VIDOCREM G, which has a viscosity of 2,500 cPs, corresponding to a value that is twice as low compared to regular guar gum.
FLOW BEHAVIOUR FOR VARIOUS TYPES OF VIDOCREM:
VIDOCREM exhibits controlled viscosity reduction under shear forces, which means it maintains a smooth and creamy texture during mixing, processing, and even consumption. Unlike additives with higher molecular weights that can lead to overly slimy or sticky textures, VIDOCREM achieves an ideal balance by ensuring that food products retain their desired texture without becoming overly thick or sticky.
Its shorter molecular chains allow for a gentle, reversible decrease in viscosity, resulting in a creamier mouthfeel and an overall enhanced sensory experience.
Elimination of syneresis with no effect on the product’s texture
Surely, you’ve sometimes needed to use a higher dosage of some additive (for example, to eliminate the occurrence of syneresis), but that higher dosage disrupted the texture of the product and made it excessively firm. By using VIDOCREM, you can apply as much dosage as needed, and the final product will remain creamy, spreadable, and full of flavor.
As a result of the reduced viscosity, the following effects can be achieved:
– Excellent cold solubility: there is practically no difference in viscosity between hot and cold.
– Fairly high doses can be used without increasing the viscosity in the final product.
– Suitable for both hot and cold applications, offering flexibility in recipe development.
– Improved Stability – helps maintain the desired consistency and texture over time.
By separating viscosity and dosage, new and unique characteristics of the final products are achieved.
Additional flavor release
VIDOCREM possesses a unique molecular structure that significantly enhances the release of flavors in food products. The shorter molecular chains in VIDOCREM allow aroma molecules to move more easily through the food matrix, increasing their availability for olfactory perception.
This specific structure reduces the interactions between aroma molecules and other components of the matrix, such as proteins and lipids, thereby minimizing their retention in the product. The result is a more intense and precise flavor release, contributing to a richer sensory experience of the final product.
By reducing viscosity in a controlled manner, it ensures that flavors are not masked, providing a more intense and authentic taste experience. Its special formulation guarantees that even the most subtle flavor notes are fully expressed, enhancing the overall sensory experience.
