Karaya gum for weight loss?
Alland & Robert's Karaya gum ingredient taps into the weight management sector with an ingredient that can be used in slimming products providing a feeling of fullness.
Exudated via an incision in the trunks and branches of Sterculia trees located in Senegal, Mali and India, the natural gum extract has found its niche in various food applications, mainly for its properties as an adhesive compound and a bulking and thickening agent.
Karaya gum remains stable during freezing and defrosting, meaning it can be used in microwavable meals.
Alland & Robert will be at FiE to reveal details of a processing method that reduces the number of hydrocolloids while preserving all their functional properties.
