Instructions For Use
Neocel® should be fully dispersed in the solution to develop its functional properties, here are tips for Neocel® dispersion.
Adequate shear must be applied to disperse Neocel®. High-speed mixer and homogenizer are highly recommended.
The preferred order of addition is to add Neocel® to water before other ingredients.
Use soft water rather than hard water since electrolytes can inhibit the dispersity of Neocel®.
If a dispersion of Neocel® is below pH around 3.5, the addition of a protective gum (e.g. xanthan gum) is suggested to prevent flocculation.
Recommended Usage Level
0.2-0.4%. The usage level depends on the type, application and other combined hydrocolloids.

Beverage that contains insoluble particles such as cocoa, grain, pulp and minerals are one of the biggest challenges for food manufacturers because of the sedimentation problem. With special rheological properties, Neocel® provides excellent suspension ability, adequate viscosity as well as thermostability, allowing it to be a versatile stabilizer in beverage products.
