Food Hydrocolloids

A colloid, also called a colloidal system, is a chemical system that features very fine particles suspended in a continuous medium. Hydrocolloids, as the name indicates, are colloidal long-chained polymeric systems made of fine particles and dispersed in water. Depending on how much water has been used, hydrocolloids could occur in the form of either gels or sols.

A colloid, also called a colloidal system, is a chemical system that features very fine particles suspended in a continuous medium. Hydrocolloids, as the name indicates, are colloidal long-chained polymeric systems made of fine particles and dispersed in water. Depending on how much water has been used, hydrocolloids could occur in the form of either gels or sols.

Given their physical attributes, hydrocolloids are used in numerous applications. Their range of application in the food industry is especially wide because they carry the capability to modify the rheology of virtually any system to which they’re added. The other main applications of hydrocolloids are seen in the cosmetics and pharmaceuticals sector.
