Espesantes is a new range being created to thicken preparations without distorting the taste. In the kitchen, products for thickening sauces and soups etc have been used for many years. 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 Xantana, liquids can be thickened using much smaller amounts and no loss of flavour.
