For a gelatine free alternative, hydrocolloids are widely used in many food formulations to improve quality attributes, stability and shelf-life. They are used to control functional properties, such as thickening and gelling. Healan Ingredients are one the UK’s leading vegan suitable gelling agent suppliers.<\/p>

As thickening agents for food suppliers, they find uses in soups, gravies,\u00a0salad dressings,\u00a0sauces and toppings while as gelling agents, they are extensively used in products like jam, jelly, marmalade, restructured foods and low sugar\/calorie gels.<\/p>

Thickening agents include guar gum<\/a>, <\/strong>locust bean gum<\/strong><\/a>, tara gum<\/a><\/strong>, gum tragacanth<\/a> <\/strong>and\u00a0xanthan gum<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>

Gelling agents include\u00a0agar<\/strong><\/a>, carrageenans<\/a>, pectin<\/a>, gellan gum<\/a><\/strong> and alginates.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
