About Souflix

Louis Francois Souflix is a versatile, high-performance thickener made from modified waxy maize starch. This white-cream, tasteless powder is renowned for its exceptional stability under various conditions. It efficiently binds water, maintaining texture and consistency even in acidic environments, at high temperatures, during freeze-thaw cycles, and under low-temperature storage. Unlike some similar products, Souflix offers superior resistance to shear forces, resulting in a creamy, short texture and a clear, transparent finish.

Souflix is particularly suitable for controlled preparation environments, offering efficient, consistent results without compromising on quality. Whether you're working with fruit-based fillings, sauces, soups, or frozen entrées, Souflix consistently delivers a smooth, stable texture.


Use:

Incorporation: Souflix disperses easily and is best used at a dosage of 1 to 3% of the total weight. Incorporate gradually while stirring to ensure uniform distribution. It can be used in both cold and hot preparations and remains stable throughout the cooking and storage process.

Application:

  • Fruit-Based Fillings: Maintains stability and texture in fresh, canned, or frozen fruit preparations.
  • Sauces and Soups: Ideal for fresh, canned, or frozen recipes, providing a creamy texture without separation.
  • Frozen Entrées: Ensures consistent texture, even after freezing and reheating.
  • Tomato and Barbecue Sauces: Maintains a thick, appealing consistency in acidic environments.
  • Baby Foods: Provides a smooth, uniform texture without altering the taste.

Recommended Dosage: 1 to 3% of the total weight, depending on the desired consistency and application.
