RheoRanger™ Composition and Characteristics

RheoRanger™ hydrocolloids are high molecular weight polysaccharides based on galactose and mannose sugars as building blocks, a common structure to other food galactomannans such as locust bean gum. This polysaccharide is commonly known as Cassia gum. RheoRanger hydrocolloids owes its high functionality to the unique architecture of the polysaccharide which determines important properties such as solubility, viscosity and synergistic interaction with other components. RheoRanger hydrocolloids are off-white in color and, importantly, neutral in taste and odor.
