Resource Espesante Clear Neutral Flavour Thickener 24 Sachets x 1.2g is a food additive that gives a smooth and homogenous texture to different liquid and semi-liquid foods. This thickener preserves its original flavour and nutritional properties, while providing safety when swallowing food. It is a supplement that gives all foods the same viscosity index, as it has a unique dosage. The taste-neutral thickener has a uniform, stable action and reduces the number of times the patient has to aspirate.
This results in a significant improvement in the treatment of this condition (dysphagia) and swallowing dysfunctions. The ingredient used to obtain the thick texture is xanthan gum, which is gluten-free and facilitates texturising, thickening and gelling of all types of liquids. In addition, it gives a good level of viscosity using a small amount of the product. The gum in this thickener, which is obtained through the industrial fermentation of the bacterium Xanthomonas campestris, is a harmless and neutral component. Apart from this, it has the ability to thicken both hot and cold foods, without modifying their smell, colour or taste.
It is suitable for daily consumption at the indicated doses, taking advantage of its wide pH range and its satiating properties. Likewise, this thickener is ideal for replacing egg and fat in preparations that include them, such as mayonnaise. Resource Clear thickener is one of the most stable food additives, as its properties are not affected by salt and sugar, even if present in high concentrations. This food product has been tested under clinical studies that have shown its safety and efficacy for the primary purpose of improving the quality of life of patients.
