Introduction
Floaten-4 (TJ004-RP) is an advanced functional stabilizer formulated with Pectin and Soluble Soybean Polysaccharide. Presented as a fine, highly uniform powder, it ensures effortless pre-mixing and rapid solubility. Specifically engineered for acidic environments, it features high dispersibility and binds directly with casein to shield and maintain protein suspension. With excellent thermal stability, it inhibits water and whey separation, eliminates fat floating and protein precipitation, and imparts a refreshing mouthfeel with customizable consistency.

Functions and Applications
Key Characteristics
- Fine powder with high particle uniformity, facilitating pre-mixing and providing rapid solubility.
- High dispersibility; specifically binds to casein in acidic environments to protect and stabilize protein suspension.
- Superior thermal stability that inhibits water and whey separation.
- Prevents fat floating, ringing, and protein precipitation across the shelf life.
- Delivers a smooth, refreshing mouthfeel with clean aroma release and customizable body.
Target Applications
- Formulated lactic acid beverages
- Fermented lactic acid beverages
- Fermented or formulated acidic plant-based protein beverages
Usage Guidelines
- Dry-blend dispersion: Dry-mix with ~5 times its weight of sugar powder, then slowly add to >30 times warm water with high-speed stirring until completely dissolved before introducing to the mixing tank.
- Direct shear dispersion: Alternatively, add directly into a high-shear emulsification tank (recommended shear temperature: 50–60°C).
- Addition sequence: Introduce Floaten-4 before adding fat and protein components.
- Processing protocol: Final formulation blends require high-pressure homogenization.
Recommended Dosage: 0.3% – 0.6%
