Texturas Line Of Products
Texturas is a line of products offered by Food Innovations through US Foodservice that are essential for you to be able to incorporate some of our best-known techniques to your kitchen, such as hot gelatins, airs, melon caviar or sperical ravioli.
The products that make up the Spherificacion, Gelificacion, Emulsificacion, Espesantes, and Surprises lines are the result of a rigorous process of selection and experimentation.
Spherification is a spectacular cooking technique which enables you to prepare recipes that no-one had even imagined before. It consists of the controlled gelification of a liquid which, submerged in a bath, forms spheres. Basic Spherification (which consists of submerging a liquid with Algin in a bath of Calcic) can obtain spheres of different sizes: caviar, eggs, gnocchi, ravioli... the spheres produced can be manipulated, since they are slightly flexible and you can introduce solid elements into the spheres, which will remain in suspension in the liquid, which obtains two or more flavors in a single preparation.

Gelatins are one of the most characteristic preparations in classical cuisine, and they have undergone greater evolution in modern cooking. Until a few years ago, they were made mainly with gelatin sheets; starting in 1997, Agar, a product of algae, was introduced and is now commonly used. Food Innovations present Gellan, that allows you to make a rigid, firm gel and Metil, a gelifier extracted from vegetable cellulose.

Emulsificación: Family that Food Innovations offers Lecite, which can obtain aerated preparations. The outstanding
characteristic is the capacity to join two phases that cannot be mixed, such as fatty and watery mediums. That makes it possible to make emulsions which otherwise would be very difficult to obtain

Espesantes: In the kitchen products for thickening sauces, creams, juices and soups have always been used. Starches and flour are the traditional thickeners, but the disadvantage is that a large quantity has to be added, which affects the final taste. With the Espesantes family we present Xantana, a new product which can thicken kitchen preparations using a minimum quantity and without distorting the initial taste characteristics.

Surprises : This is a line of products whose main feature is the possibility of consuming them directly, either on their own or mixed with other ingredients and preparations. They are products with different characteristics from one to the other but with one common denominator – their special texture, individual and unique to each of them. light in Malto is a product based on maltodextrin, a carbohydrate obtained from cornstarch molecules, in this case those of tapioca, which have been broken down. It has low sweetening power and does not add calories. It is employed as a bulking agent, but can also absorb oils. Used in the food industry in the preparation of beverages, dairy products, candies and soups
