Saladizer® MAX
Flavor: characteristic Saladizer® Max is a patented hydrocolloid technology designed to improve textural attributes while providing superior emulsification in full fat, reduced fat, and fat free dressings, sauces, and dips. The inclusion of Saladizer® Max does not have a significant impact on viscosity; for applications that require more viscosity, consider adding Saladizer® FB-50 or Ticaxan® Xanthan. |

PROPYLENE GLYCOL ALGINATE
Odor: characteristic Use: PGA has special functions in emulsifying, stabilizing, thickening and decentralizing, which allow it to be widely used in juice, beer, salad dressing, emulsified essence, acidic protein drinks, cosmetic, condiments, etc. It is also the most efficient and commonly used beer foam stablizer worldwide with its use well understood and documented. PGA beer foam stablizer has the highest level of esterification availabale on the market, giving superior head retention and greater protection against foam collapse caused by foam-negative contaminants. |

Propylene glycol alginate (PGA) is an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener used in food products. It is a food additive with E number E405. Chemically, propylene glycol alginate is an ester of alginic acid, which is derived from kelp. Some of the carboxyl groups are esterified with propylene glycol, some are neutralized with an appropriate alkali, and some remain free.
