PAC-GEL® is a multifunctional, pre-gelatinised rice ingredient which has been specifically created as a water binding agent, thickener, emulsifier and viscosity control agent with good freeze-thaw stability. It has a small, even particle size that swells easily and can absorb 4.5-5.5 grams of water per gram of flour. This allows it to mimic fat and generate a smoother, creamier texture than wheat flours, making it ideal for soups, sauces, gravies, instant beverage mixes and baby foods. PAC-GEL® is available in three granulations and has a proven success rate in dairy based sauces, French breads and frozen breads and doughs.
