The integration of smart technology into food products has extended to thickeners. Smart thickeners can dynamically adjust the viscosity of a product in response to external factors, such as temperature or shear stress, ensuring optimal texture under different conditions. Advanced encapsulation technologies enable the controlled release of thickeners, enhancing their functionality in specific food applications. This precision in release contributes to improved stability and performance in diverse formulations. With the emergence of clean meat and alternative proteins, there is a parallel exploration of thickeners that complement these new ingredients. These innovations address the unique textural challenges of plant-based and lab-grown meat products.
