Discover how Gelymar carrageenans transform nutritional products, optimizing their functionality and providing specific benefits for all age groups.
Nutrition for Children up to 3 Years Old
Follow-on or Stage 2 Infant Formula
Our carrageenans enable the design of powdered follow-on formulas. They provide the appropriate viscosity for hydrolysed protein preparations before drying. When the product is rehydrated, they deliver body and creaminess, improving palatability and, consequently, product acceptance.
Nutrition for the Whole Family
Healthy Snack Bars
Our carrageenans provide the right viscosity to the syrup coating cereals, allowing them to bind quickly by accelerating sugar crystallization. Once gelled, they offer a crunchy and chewy texture and enhance the final product’s appearance by providing sheen with a crisp flavor release.
High-Protein Snack Bars
Our carrageenans enable the creation of syrups, with or without sugar, that react with proteins to promote their binding and gelation. This allows for the production of high-protein bars that can range from soft to firm gels, chewy or crunchy, and offer excellent flavor release.
Nutrition for Seniors
Nutritional Beverages
Our carrageenans stabilize and provide the right body to beverages enriched with proteins, calcium, and vitamins. These are crucial for maintaining muscle mass and bone density, also helping to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and hypertension.
Dysphagia Beverages
Dysphagia is difficulty swallowing food, especially liquids. Providing the appropriate viscosity prevents liquids from entering the airways and ensures they continue down the esophagus. Our products help achieve the required viscosity, delivering beverages that, despite high viscosity, have a very natural mouthfeel, facilitating swallowing. They provide high creaminess, a natural sensation, and extraordinary clean flavor release.
Sports Nutrition
Enriched Beverages
We develop perfect stabilizers for post-workout recovery drinks, ensuring homogeneous products high in proteins and electrolytes.
This allows for rapid hydration, replenishing electrolytes and energy with the appropriate sugar absorption rate into the blood, avoiding glycemic spikes. Subsequently, the protein helps maintain muscle mass and weight.
