CATEGORY / THICKENERS & GUMS
Texture,
structured with precision.
A focused hydrocolloid portfolio for viscosity control, suspension, gel structure and formulation stability across food, beverage and cosmetic applications.
Structure is a formulation decision.
Hydrocolloids help define more than thickness. They influence flow, suspension, gelation, moisture retention and the way a finished product feels in use.
OFAME GROUP brings microbial gums, seaweed extracts, plant-derived gums and cellulose derivatives into one sourcing conversation. Start with the required performance in your system, then align the grade, mesh, pack format and documentation needs with your project.

From a beverage’s suspended texture to the set of a dessert or the body of a sauce, application context is where the appropriate hydrocolloid route begins.
