Tic Gums: Delivering Innovative Solutions with Ingredion’s Portfolio of Gums and Hydrocolloids
Tic Gums is a leading provider of advanced texture and stabilization solutions for the food, beverage, and industrial markets. With over a century of experience in the industry, Tic Gums has established itself as a trusted partner for companies looking to enhance their products' sensory appeal, shelf life, and functionality.
One of Tic Gum's key strengths is its partnership with Ingredion Incorporated. Ingredion is a global ingredient solutions provider that offers an extensive portfolio of gums and hydrocolloids that are in high demand across various industries. By leveraging Ingredion's expertise in ingredient innovation and Tic Gum's formulation capabilities, the two companies have created a powerful synergy that enables them to deliver innovative solutions to their customers.
Tic Gum's product portfolio includes an array of gums and hydrocolloids such as guar gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan, pectin, cellulose gum (CMC), locust bean gum (LBG), tara gum, gellan gum among others. These ingredients are used extensively across various applications such as dairy products like ice cream or yogurt; bakery items like bread or cakes; beverages like juices or soft drinks; sauces & dressings; confectionery items like candies or chocolates; meat & poultry products among others.
One area where Tic Gums excels is in delivering indulgent mouthfeel to food products. Mouthfeel refers to the physical sensations experienced when eating or drinking something - it can be described as creamy vs gritty vs smooth etc., depending on the product type. By using specific combinations of gums and hydrocolloids from Ingredion’s portfolio along with other functional ingredients such as proteins or fibers - Tic Gums can create unique textures that enhance consumers’ sensory experiences while consuming these foods.
Another area where Tic Gums provides value is by helping manufacturers achieve ideal viscosity levels in their formulations. Viscosity refers to how thick or thin a liquid appears - it can impact how easily it flows through pipes during processing stages but also affects consumer perception when they consume these foods/beverages. For example- if you want your ketchup not too runny nor too thick so that it pours out easily from its bottle without making any mess on your plate- then you need ideal viscosity levels which can be achieved by using specific combinations of gums/hydrocolloids from our portfolio along with other functional ingredients such as starches/sugars etc.
Emulsification is another critical function provided by some gums/hydrocolloids which helps keep oil/water-based ingredients mixed together uniformly without separating out over time- this property makes them useful for salad dressings/mayonnaise/creamy soups etc.- where separation would negatively impact consumer acceptance/taste experience.
In addition to providing innovative texture solutions through its partnership with Ingredion Inc., Tic Gums also offers customized blends tailored specifically for each customer's unique needs. This approach allows manufacturers to differentiate themselves from competitors by creating distinctive textures while maintaining consistency across batches/production runs.

Our team has extensive knowledge about different applications/formulations/processes involved in manufacturing food/beverage/industrial goods which helps us provide valuable insights into optimizing production processes/reducing costs/improving quality control measures etc.- all aimed at helping our customers succeed!
