TIC Gums exhibit at the show is in booth number E059. Show hours are 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. January 29, 2012 through February 1, 2012.

January 29, 2012 (Cologne, Germany) – TIC Gums is introducing a replacement for gum arabic to the candy and confection industry in Europe. Known as TicaPAN^® 311, the coating system will bind sugar and sugar alcohol syrup in confection coating and panning applications with comparable performance when compared to the traditional solution. TicaPAN 311 costs approximately 20% less than gum arabic. Manufactured in the U.K., supply chain management is predictable and manageable. Orders and sample requests are now available.

TicaPAN® 311 will polish chocolate candy to provide a deeper shine than possible using traditional methods. It can also be used to seal covered nuts to help prevent oxidation. TicaPAN 311 is a “drop-in” replacement for gum arabic and costs about 20% less.

With the ongoing availability of guar gum a challenge for the food industry...

October 18, 2011 -- As supplies and availability of guar gum continue to be stressed, TIC Gums is introducing a new texture and stabilization formula that will replace guar in bakery products. Ticaloid^® GR 5420 is a blend of gums that completely replace guar in bakery products like cake, bread, bagels, and muffins. Containing no guar gum, this proprietary blend will deliver the same texture benefits that guar gum alone does, but without the threat of supply interruptions or price instability. The new technology was designed and tested at the Texture Innovation Center™ located in White Marsh, MD. White Marsh is located north of Baltimore, MD. 

Removing Sugar Also Omits Texture for RTD Tea

TIC Gums will demonstrate the difference texture manipulation makes in three separate tea samples for individual demonstrations during the Supply Side West International Trade Show and Conference starting Wednesday, October 12, 2011 through Friday, October 14, 2011 at the Venetian & Sands Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. In booth # 22108, teas with varying texture will serve to illustrate the difference texture can make in enjoyment and preference of the eating/drinking experience. And while these are only tea samples, the same results are available for food scientists and developers who can positively manipulate eating and drinking experiences for their customers by adjusting the texture and stabilization modifiers included in all consumables, not just tea.

With availability of guar gum constrained...

October 3, 2011 – TIC Gums has a new product that can replace guar gum on a one to one basis for instant (powdered) beverages. Ticaloid^® GE 306 is a blend that significantly reduces the overall use of guar gum. This is accomplished while also improving the thickness of the finished beverage, a function that guar alone cannot provide. Ticaloid GE 306 is for instant beverages like lemonade and other powdered drinks. This new technology is but one of many outcomes research and development at TIC Gums provides.
