About Liquid Thickeners
Liquid Thickeners are essentially food ingredients which are used in the processed food and beverages to increase their consistency. They do not change the appearance or the taste of the food products in the process. They are derived from proteins and polysaccharides. Major types of liquid thickeners would include starch, hydrocolloids and proteins with starch accounting for largest market share. Liquid thickeners can be sourced either from animal or plant source. Growth of the processed food and beverages market along with increasing demand from end user industry has led to the growth of the liquid thickeners business. Geographically, Asia Pacific Region and North American region are the two biggest markets of the liquid thickeners.
