Food Ingredient : Curdlan Linear Polysaccharide
Curdlan is a thermoreversible polysaccharide consisting of β-(1,3)-linked glucose residues, produced by microbial fermentation. It forms stable gels that withstand heating and freezing, and is effective in improving food texture.
Curdlan is a thermoreversible polysaccharide used to improve the texture and quality of food products. It is composed of β-(1,3)-linked glucose residues and produced by microbial fermentation. Curdlan forms stable gels through heat treatment and possesses properties that prevent quality degradation due to freezing and thawing. Furthermore, it is used in various food products such as processed meats, noodles, tofu, and imitation seafood, contributing to improved product yield and prevention of drip loss.
Features
Thermoreversibility: Curdlan forms stable gels upon heating and retains its properties even after repeated freezing and thawing.
Improved Water Absorption: It effectively absorbs water, increasing product yield and preventing drip loss.
Texture Improvement: It provides an elastic texture through gelation, enhancing the mouthfeel of processed foods.
Wide Range of Food Applications: Applicable to a wide variety of food products, including processed meats, sausages, noodles, dumpling wrappers, and imitation seafood.
Special Certifications: Compliant with Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Halal standards, accommodating various dietary restrictions.
Specifications
Chemical Structure: β-(1,3)-linked glucose residues
Form: Gels upon heating in aqueous dispersion
Certifications: Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Kosher, Halal
Usage: Can be used in processed meats, sausages, surimi products, dumpling wrappers, noodles, imitation seafood, tofu, etc.
Applications
Curdlan is widely used in the food industry and is particularly suitable for the following applications:
Processed Meat Products: Improves texture and enhances water retention of products.
Noodles and Dumpling Wrappers: Provides a chewy, elastic texture and improves mouthfeel.
