Hydrocolloid system replaces gums

Prepared Foods, April, 2002

Primera Foods/Zumbro Division, Cameron, Wisc., offers [Vis.sup.*]Quick 11, an instantized multi-purpose hydrocolloid system. Containing xanthan and guar gums, [Vis.sup.*]Quick 11 stabilizes and provides body for a wide variety of prepared, frozen and dry mix products including sauces, soups, dressings, and desserts. The product can be added directly to sauces that have vegetable pieces, such as salsa. In aseptic fruit preparations where the mixing and residence time are limited, [Vis.sup.*]Quick 11 completely disperses without producing "fish eyes." It also effectively stabilizes cheese fillings in frozen Italian entrees.

[Vis.sup.*]Quick 11 is agglomerated to be free-flowing, easily dispersible, and lump-free for consistently high, finished product quality. Granular, dust-free [Vis.sup.*]Quick 11 improves plant environmental quality and safety. It also facilitates rapid clean-up for processing efficiencies and cost savings. Designed to replace xanthan gum for cost savings, [Vis.sup.*]Quick 11 also can replace a variety of gums in your product line for ordering and inventory efficiencies.
