Along with the sweetness of sugar, viscosity, thickness and mouthfeel of dissolved sugar also come out. The sweetness of these can be replaced with artificial sweeteners but they will not replace the texture. Gums and gum systems can be used deliver the mouth and palate coating that are often lost in sugar free liquids like these. Using hydrocolloids like those in the Ticaloid Syrup SF1, chefs can mimic the texture lost when dissolved sugar is removed.]]> Wed, 02 May 2012 08:59:15 GMT http://www.ticgums.com/media-center/guru-tv/viewvideo/74/about-tic-gums/texture-replacement-in-sugar-free-glaze-at-rca-2012.html  The Gum Gurus at TIC Gums talk about common foods and the functions gums, hydrocolloids, and stabilizers perform in those foods.

The next generation of xanthan is here. FASTir® Xanthan EC goes a step farther than agglomeration. FASTir Xanthan offers high dispersibility, quicker hydration, consistent quality, and shorter supply chain These benefits all equal value and confidence when Western xanthan is in short supply or Eastern sourced gum is not the right quality. Developed using TIC Gums' latest, patent pending manufacturing capability here in the U.S., ordering from North America is convenient with no waiting for shipments from overseas. Shorter batch times in manufacturing and reduced lead times are just two of the advantages FASTir delivers.  ]]> Thu, 12 May 2011 19:11:09 GMT http://www.ticgums.com/media-center/guru-tv/viewvideo/67/about-tic-gums/tic-gums-fastir-xanthan-ec-disperses-better-than-other-xanthan.html  This video demonstrates the improved dispersion and hydration characteristics of Pre-Hydrated® Gum Arabic compared to powdered Gum Arabic.]]> Wed, 15 Sep 2010 10:08:11 GMT http://www.ticgums.com/media-center/guru-tv/viewvideo/66/product-videos/pre-hydrated-gums-disperse-better-than-powdered-gums.html  If a formulation contains oil, powdered gum can be blended with the oil to improve dispersion and hydration.
