Sauces
Besides seeking for authentic and more adventurous taste experiences from around the world, sauces manufacturers are prioritising on natural ingredients, reduced salt and sugar, plant-based substitutes and functional additives to boost health and wellbeing.
Texturisers play a crucial role in producing emulsified sauces, such as mayonnaise and salad cream, by stabilising the emulsion, ensuring a creamy and consistent texture that resists separation. Ingredients such as tara gum, xanthan gum or modified starches are commonly used to achieve the desired viscosity, therefore improving the spreadability of the final product. Moreover, citrus fiber is widely used to clean the label and mimic the typical mouthfeel of fat for light sauces.
