KELTROL BT is a clarified food-grade xanthan gum suitable for use in food preparations where complete hydration in high salt systems is required. KELTROL BT provides excellent suspension for insoluble solids and oil droplets in food applications. It exhibits low viscosity while processing and fully recovers viscosity after shearing. KELTROL BT eliminates problems with incomplete gum hydration in high salt food systems. It can fully hydrate in high salt food systems where performance of standard grades is unpredictable. KELTROL BT provides freeze-thaw stability and acid/salt tolerance in food applications. It can be blended with salt and added directly to the water phase without severely impacting the hydration of the gum in food formulations.
