TIC Gums offers a variety of organic gum systems for foods and beverages

Not too long ago, the phrase “organic products” usually brought to mind items like tofu, granola or bean sprouts. As the organic market has grown from a loyal niche to a general trend over the last few years, consumers are seeking a more diverse array of organic foods and beverages in natural foods markets, traditional retail stores, and even on restaurant menus.

Organic foods, just like their mainstream counterparts, need the functional characteristics gums and stabilizers provide. Which means formulators still need ways to thicken, suspend, add mouthfeel, or impart freeze/thaw and emulsion stability and they can find the restrictions on the types of ingredients that can be used in organic products very limiting.

At TIC Gums, we work with our customers who are creating organic foods to determine the proper gum systems to accomplish their stability and texture requirements while also meeting the strict NOP requirements for organic products. Our TICorganic^® line of certified organic gums includes a range of individual gums as well as specially designed stabilizer systems.
