TICACEL® MCC FG-100 Powder
Flavor: characteristic Ticacel® MCC FG-100 Powder is an odorless, pure white microcrystalline cellulose, primarily used use as a processing aid and bulking agent. Ticacel MCC FG-100 is a non-caloric bulking agent and insoluble fiber source. As a processing aid, it serves as an anti-caking agent for shredded cheese and a flow aid for many dry mixes. Ticacel MCC FG-100 can be used as a lubricant and extrusion aid as well as to minimize the stickiness of cooked pasta. Ticacel MCC FG-100 can also be used as a fat replacer in bakery and meat applications. |

Ticaloid® Pro HC 988
Flavor: characteristic Ticaloid® PRO HC 988 is a highly colloidal MCC. Ticaloid Pro HC 988 requires homogenization (2500 psi or greater) for full activation. Ticaloid Pro HC 988 stabilizes high and low protein beverages with minimal viscosity increases and typically 40% more effective then traditional colloidal MCC products. |
