Functions and Applications

Floaten-2 – Key Benefits

Excellent solubility and mixing properties
Acid/heat-resistant formulation (stable at high temperatures)
Anti-syneresis properties prevent water separation
High gelation temperature for processing flexibility
Superior cost-performance ratio
Maintains stability during transport and storage

Important Note: The use of other thickeners or stabilizers must be avoided. Not suitable for suspension stability of protein-containing beverages in neutral pH. Calcium ions can enhance suspension capability.

Applications

Recommended Uses

Juices with pulp (citrus, tropical fruits)
Fruit/floral teas
Rice wine and similar beverages
Products requiring particle suspension:
- Fruit dices and chunks
- Citrus sacs
- Edible petals
- Chia seeds

Also enhances juice-like mouthfeel in beverages.

Usage Guidelines

Pre-mix method:
- Blend with 5x (w/w) sugar powder until homogeneous
- Gradually add to ≥50x warm water under high-speed mixing
- Process through colloid mill for complete dissolution
Direct incorporation:
- Add to high-shear emulsifying tanks
- Maintain dispersion temperature at 50-60°C
Apply moderate heat treatment (avoid >80°C for >1 hour)
Post-cooling: agitate containers to activate particle suspension

Recommended dosage: 0.05%-0.08%

Packaging & Storage

Package: 25 kg/bag

Storage: 24 months at ambient temperature (cool, dry place)
