Lutkala is the optimal choice everywhere where you need to enhance the thickness, structure or texture of vegetable- and fruit-based products. It is an excellent thickener for ketchups, sauces, dressings, dips and other products of this type because Lutkala:

• ensures stabilization,
• constitutes a natural alternative to guar gum, pectins and other chemical thickeners,
• allows to create a product with a “clean” label without the controversial “E” additives, which are avoided by more and more consumers worldwide,
• binds water and oil, which makes it work as a natural emulsifier,
• works within a broad range of temperatures and acidity,
• is thermostable so it is applicable in many production processes,
• limits syneresis,
• extends product shelf-life period,
• contains large amounts of natural fiber, which allows to decrease the calorific value of products and increase their pro-health properties,
• emphasizes the natural taste and smell of the product.

Applications:

• ketchups: traditional or low-sugar, with no starch and thickeners,
• mayonaisse: traditional and vegan alternative,
• emulsion sauces with versatile flavourings, ex. spices, herbs, vegetables,
• exotic sauces, ex. Indian sweet sour sauce,
• veggie dips, ex. guacamole.
