Clouding agents are food additives that are designed to increase opacity (cloudiness) in a variety of food and beverage products, such as fruit juices, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks. Also known as turbidity agents, cloudifiers can add thickness to food and beverages, resulting in a thicker mouthfeel if so desired.
A cloudier product can greatly enhance the appearance of certain beverages. For example, by increasing the cloudiness in fruit juices, such as orange juice, it will make it more natural-looking. This makes it more visually appealing, which contributes to the quality and desirability of these products.
At Flavour Sensations, we offer cloudifiers for a variety of applications, which include, but are not limited to:
Clouds for beverages such as soft drinks, or carbonated drinks
Clouding agents are used in the manufacturing of soft drinks to achieve a more natural appearance, especially with drinks that have a low fruit juice content.
Clouds can also cloak sedimentation (when the droplets sink to the bottom) and ring formation (such as when the colouring and/or flavouring agents rise to the surface of the container) during storage.
Neutral clouds (no odour)
Cloudiness or turbidity can also be attained with a Neutral Cloud. This ingredient is a tasteless agent that is added to give beverages a refined cloudy look without changing or affecting the smell, taste, and/or colour of the beverage.
Clouds for alcoholic beverages
Obtaining natural beverage clouds while improving cloud strength and stability for alcoholic beverages is imperative when considering the sophistication consumers expect from these drinks.
Since cloudifiers are used to boost the turbidity of beverages, it can also increase a beverage’s concentration.
Our clouding agents offer high cloud stability, as well as consistency to the food or beverages it is used in.
At Flavour Sensations, we have been making the world taste better since our establishment. And people do not only taste with their taste buds, but also with their eyes. Our cloudifiers are just another step towards creating food and beverage perfection.
