In pulpy juices (like orange juice with pulp, mango nectar, or fruit drink blends), carrageenan serves as a stabilizer, suspending agent, and texture enhancer. Here’s how it works:
1. Suspends Pulp & Solids
- Prevents pulp from settling at the bottom by creating a weak gel network that holds particles uniformly.
- Ensures consistent texture (no separation) throughout shelf life.
- Adds a slightly creamy, smooth texture without altering flavor.
- Enhances the perception of "natural richness" in juice.
- Binds water and oil phases in creamy fruit drinks.
- Prevents oil ring formation or pulp clumping.
- Works well in low-pH (acidic) juices (e.g., citrus, berry) without breaking down.
Note: Specific spec can be customized according to your detailed requirements.
