Thickeners for Food & Beverages

Product Description: Xanthan Gum 80 Mesh Thickener and Stabilizer At Quimiconsult we offer Xanthan Gum 80 Mesh, a high-molecular-weight biopolymer produced by bacterial fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris that provides versatile, high-performance rheology control across a wide range of industrial applications. As specialized distributors of functional ingredients for the food, cleaning, agro-industrial, oil and coatings industries, we guarantee a steady supply of premium-quality xanthan gum with technical support and full traceability for every lot. Xanthan Gum 80 Mesh is characterized by its standard particle size, with a minimum of 95% of particles passing through 80 mesh (180 microns) and 100% passing through 60 mesh (250 microns). This particle size offers an excellent balance between ease of dispersion and convenience of handling in the plant, generating less fine dust during dosing and bag-emptying operations than finer particle sizes. This makes 80 Mesh the preferred grade f…

Product description: Xanthan Gum 200 Mesh thickener and stabilizer At Quimiconsult we offer Xanthan Gum 200 Mesh, a high-molecular-weight biopolymer produced by bacterial fermentation of Xanthomonas campestris that provides versatile rheology control across a wide range of industrial applications. As specialized distributors of functional ingredients for the food, cleaning, agro-industrial and oil industries, we guarantee a steady supply of high-quality xanthan gum with technical support and full traceability for every batch. Xanthan gum is an extracellular polysaccharide that dissolves easily in cold or hot water to form highly viscous solutions even at very low concentrations, typically between 0.1% and 1.0%. This superior thickening capacity sets xanthan gum apart from other hydrocolloids that require heating or significantly higher concentrations to reach comparable viscosities. The 200 Mesh designation indicates that a minimum of 92% of the particles pass through a 200 mesh scree…

Description of PVP K30, a film former At Quimiconsult we offer USP/NF 26 grade PVP K30, also known as polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 or povidone K30. It is an amorphous, hygroscopic, linear, nonionic synthetic polymer, supplied as a white granular powder with a K value between 27.0 and 32.4. Its CAS number is 9003-39-8 and its systematic chemical name is 2-pyrrolidinone, 1-ethenyl-, homopolymer. PVP K30 is highly soluble in water and in a wide variety of organic solvents, including alcohols, glycols, organic acids and chlorinated compounds, making it one of the most versatile polymers available for industrial formulation. This exceptional solubility, combined with its nonionic nature, makes PVP K30 compatible with virtually any formulation system without altering the pH, reacting with other active ingredients or creating incompatibilities that limit its use. The most distinctive property of PVP K30 is its ability to form clear, glossy, flexible and tough films with adhesive, cohesive and di…

Product description, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose HPMC high-purity cellulose ether At Quimiconsult we offer Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, commercially known as HPMC, hypromellose or as part of the general family of modified cellulose ethers, a semi-synthetic polymer derived from natural cellulose through controlled partial substitution with functional groups (methoxyl, hydroxypropyl or hydroxyethyl, depending on the specific grade). The product is a fine, yellowish-white powder that is odorless, tasteless and highly soluble in water at any temperature, and insoluble in organic solvents, with a controlled particle size in which a minimum of 85 % passes through 80 mesh (< 0.180 mm), ensuring excellent dispersibility and hydration speed. The grade we sell at Quimiconsult is characterized by its viscosity of 3,800 to 5,000 mPa·s measured on a Brookfield RV at 20 rpm with spindle 6, equivalent to 100,000 mPa·s on the Hoppler scale, which positions it as a very high viscosity cellulose…

Product Description — Food Grade Guar Gum Powder   At Quimiconsult we distribute food grade Guar Gum from the Polymerals brand (reference GGP-FG-200/5500), a white to beige powder with hydration properties for food applications. Guar gum is used mainly as a high-performance thickening agent, capable of generating high viscosities at low concentrations, and as a stabilizer that retains or prevents moisture, controls crystal formation and provides texture, elasticity and flow properties to a wide variety of food systems.   Guar gum is a natural polysaccharide (galactomannan) obtained from the endosperm of the seed of the Cyamopsis tetragonoloba plant, native mainly to India and Pakistan. Its long mannose chain structure with galactose branches gives it an extraordinary capacity to hydrate in cold water, forming high-viscosity solutions without heating, which sets it apart from other hydrocolloids that require heat to develop their thickness. This property makes it one of the most econom…
