KELCOGEL CHM is a specialty hydrocolloid blend containing carrageenan and gellan gum standardized with sugar to stabilize neutral pH dairy beverages. KELCOGEL CHM provides excellent suspension of insoluble particles and enables simpler labeling while still providing low cost. It is easy to disperse and hydrate, and provides texture and flavor profile tailoring. KELCOGEL CHM has excellent shelf life stability and provides structure, compatible with a wide variety of neutral pH dairy beverages. KELCOGEL CHM is typically used at 0.0-0.07% and can be dispersed readily into milk using common mixing devices. It can be activated by heat treatments such as HTST, UHT and batch pasteurization where the milk temperature reaches at least 85°C.
