Application
HPS is primarily used as a thickener in the food industry, particularly in frozen and convenience foods. It provides stable viscosity and maintains water retention even under low-temperature storage conditions. It can also be used in combination with other thickeners. HPS is also used as a thickener in meat sauces, sausages, fruit drinks, and puddings, providing a smooth, thick, clear, and non-granular texture that maintains this texture at various storage temperatures, including frozen, without any off-flavors. HPS can also be used as a base for chewing gum, providing excellent elasticity and chewiness.
In addition, HPS can also be used as an adhesive, suspending agent and thickener in industries such as building exterior walls, papermaking, textiles, oil drilling, and daily chemical products.
