What is stabilizer

The composition of food is more complex  (Thailand food Ingredient supplier) , and many foods have undergone morphological changes in the process of processing and storage. Stabilizer, as its name implies, is a kind of additive that stabilizes food structure and enhances food viscous solids  (Thailand food flavour wholesale) . The stabilizer has the following functions.

The main results are as follows: 

(1) in order to improve the quality of soybean products, glutamine transaminase can promote the catalytic cross-linking of soybean protein in soybean products and improve its solubility, emulsification and stability.

(2) the hardening effect of fruits and vegetables  (Thailand food flavour supplier) , there are all kinds of calcium salts, such as calcium chloride  (Thailand food flavour wholesale) , calcium lactate, calcium citrate and so on  (Thailand food Ingredient supplier) , which can form gel with pectin in fruits and vegetables to ensure the hardness and brittleness of fruits and vegetables  (Thailand food flavour supplier) .

(3) as a moisturizer, propylene glycol can maintain moisture in pastry and raw noodle products, increase the softness of flour products, and improve emulsification and stability.

(4) deoxidization of canned food. In canned fruits and vegetables rich in polyphenol oxidase  (Thailand food flavour wholesale) , disodium stannous citrate can be used as an antioxidant to protect the color and flavor of food.

(5) chelating, food additives such as polycarboxylic acids (citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, etc.), polyphosphoric acid and EDTA can form soluble complexes with metal ions, prevent adverse reactions such as decolorization, oxidation, rancidity, turbidity and flavor changes caused by metal ions, and improve the quality and stability of food.

In National food standard, stabilizers and coagulants belong to the same functional category of food additives. However, because of the different mechanism of stabilizer on food system, it can be added to food as thickener, emulsifier and loosening agent at the same time.
