The food thickeners category groups together technical ingredients designed to modify texture, stabilize or densify your liquid or semi-liquid preparations. Indispensable in pastry, ice cream, confectionery and creative cooking, these agents help control consistency without altering taste or appearance.
Thickeners have no gelling power: they increase viscosity while maintaining a supple, fluid or creamy texture. They are ideal for making smooth sauces, stable creams, texture-controlled ice creams and thickened beverages.
Among the most widely used, xanthan gum is a high-performance vegetable thickener, appreciated for its stability both hot and cold, its resistance to pH variations and its ability to hydrate rapidly. It is ideal for coulis, creams, mousses and sauces, and is widely used in gluten-free recipes to improve hold and elasticity.
Some thickeners can also play a role in stabilizing emulsions, reducing syneresis or controlling crystallization in ices or ganaches. Used in very small quantities, they offer precise, consistent technical results.
Our food thickeners are available as fine powders, easy to dose and disperse. They are adapted to the needs of craftsmen and pastry professionals, offering an excellent compromise between efficiency and discretion.
