TIC Gums addresses clean label trend
At TIC Gums, customers are asking more questions about the sourcing and labeling of gums and hydrocolloids, but at the moment, they are not being blacklisted on the 'unacceptable ingredients' lists of chains such as Panera, Whole Foods and Kroger, said the firm. "However, if customers want to replace carrageenan in an RTD beverage, for example, we can offer a blend of acacia and gellan gum that offers the same functionality and mouthfeel."
